Re: Elder Isidore - Salt of the Earth

Re: Three Greek priests join the RTOC Synod - June 2015

Why are you sneering, Igor ?
Surely there is a need for both RTOC and GOC of Stephanos to have various far flung areas as part of their jurisdictions.

Re: Stealth Jihad or "Jihad in Sheep's Clothing"

About the works of Sergei Alexandrovich Nilus, I found some footnotes listing unusual works of his. But not the political ones you mentioned.

Re: Philotheus of Sinai: On Sobriety

These passages are all excellent. I especially like the last ! But what to do to get chatterboxes to heed this warning - ?! I believe such excessive talkers are ADDICTED to chatter. Thus, they go into denial when confronted. Nonetheless I am going to present this passage to a certain such one whom I...

Re: Canons prohibiting laity or clergy from acting on stage?

Regarding the 6th of the morality plays Maria recommended, I did watch a little later. I recently learned, though, that the plot is from an old French tale which was redone by Leo Tolstoy. It became a well-loved Christmas story under the title of "Papa Panov's Special Christmas". However, ...
