Re: Orthodox Stores: polemical tangent

Hello Cyprian, Thank you for your concern and your insight. I believe you are right about being of one mind with my synod. It is something I will seek to amend within myself. Perhaps this belongs in another post, but what is the story with HTM? I've gathered various bits of information but have yet ...

Through the mind? Through thoughts? I have read before in places that some thoughts are not our own but com...

Re: Orthodox Stores

Re: Prayer Request for a Friend

Sam was hospitalized last week. He almost passed away. He is safe now, has been clean for awhile and is now in the process of making changes to prevent this from happening again. Thank you all for your prayers. Glory be to God.

Prayer Request for a Friend

Good afternoon, I have a friend who has fallen into very hard times. I asked him if it would be okay if I requested a prayer for him from the Church and to share some details about what's going on.

Early Church teachings about the Papacy and Roman See?

Good morning, I don't know if I'm being hit by temptation. But I keep wondering what it was that the early Church believed about the papacy and the Roman see. Does anybody have any quotes? Roman Catholics have a few ancient quotations used to justify their position and it's throwing me off at the mo...
