Abp. Sophrony & Clergy (ROCA) Respond to Met. Agafangel

Regarding, however, Metropolitan Agafangel [...] certainly there was the case of his outrage against Abp Andrew of ROAC. Unspeakable slander of a fine True Orthodox hierarch. Were you thinking of other examples - are there many ? - or mainly this case, Igor ? Agree about ridiculous to pose as Met of...

Re: Abp. Sophrony & Clergy (ROCA) Respond to Met. Agafangel

Could you explain the part about the cessation of commemoration of JP Patriarch ? What does this mean for Agafangel ? I thought he supports the one who was removed by the present one. At least, according to one interpretation I read on a blog. And has Agafangel been agreeing to less than baptism by ...

Re: Persecution of seriously ill True Orthodox by EP continu

Would this be an Esfighmenou metochion in Thessaloniki, Maria ?
Maybe there's a reason that the name of the Monastery was not mentioned in the paragraph ? Are the people who wrote this in fear

How can we improve E Cafe?

Thank you, Maria, for coming forward with this LONG-AWAITED post !! As long as you asked, with my newfound freedom, the first thing I would like to say is that I always feel uncomfortable coming to this site, though I mostly screen out that feeling. ...

Re: World Orthodoxy and the Name-Worshipping Heresy

Exactly, Maria ! We are so obviously different people with different emphases, particular fields of interest, and different characters. I clearly like the Saints and like to study about monastics [my book came in yesterday "Letters to Nuns" by St Anatoly of Optina [in fact, just after writ...

Re: The Gardening Thread

Tea is FINE ! A thoroughly civilized drink. Can't you imagine the Tsar, or let's say, St Stephen of Hungary, offering you a cup of tea in exquisite porcelain cups ? Whereas, can you imagine them offering you --- coffee with a thick sea of grains at the bottom of the cup ? Ugh !! It's too bad this la...

Re: World Orthodoxy and the Name-Worshipping Heresy

Hmm, Cerf is a good publishing house in France. Met Hilarion [Alfeyev] has certainly attained a certain stature to have his writing published there. That's a side note. I had not seen the rest of this page until now. That happens ! [said ruefully]. Now, regarding the page from a book about St Barsan...
