Re: A popular revolt against the EP is starting ....

So many seem attached because they cannot conceive of 'Orthodoxy' without the EP. That we have had sadly in history Patriarchs whose teaching have been a departure from The Truth helps these good folk see clearly not at all, so far. Possibly as the teaching and behaviour of the current holder of the...

Re: The "Smartphone Abuse Test" : try it !

I bought one of these perishing things and after trying it for a couple of days returned it and got my money back. A simple mobile or cell phone I found more than adequate. Why anyone wants a smartphone certainly beats me.

Re: Pets

Re: Pets

Re: ANTI SODOMIT DOCUMENTARY

Over my lifetime the march from campaigns asking for tolerance, then moving on to insisting on 'equality' to demanding the celebration of aberrant 'lifestyles' has been something I have long commented upon and been subject to abuse and labelling. The latter is a long standing tactic of labelling you...

Re: Bishops Ambrose and Photios of the GOC-K in the UK

May I correct a couple of comments on the the antiquity of the lovely St Edward the Martyr Church (Not Edward the Confessor). In the late 1840s London's rapidly expanding population was running out of grave spaces. And in 1852 an Act was laid before Parliament for the establishment of a Cemetry for ...
