Re: the joys of ecumenism
Hello everyone. I have a persistent thought. What if ecumenism is necessary? There are so many tens of millions of Christians who are almost entirely in agreement, most of whom are really just missing something. In fact I was quite surprised: I recently spent a Sunday at a Methodist church, and to ...

TOC of Georgia
Does anyone know if there is a True Orthodox presence in the country Georgia? Also, does anyone know if there are any articles/papers on the TOC translated into Georgian?

Re: Should the Orthodox Church Allow Marriage to Heretics?
I have moved this thread into World Orthodoxy, since James' post mentions the OCA. Not only the OCA, but also GOARCH and the Antiochians allow for interfaith marriages as long as the non-Orthodox but heterodox spouse is a believing Christian whether Protestant or Catholic.

Re: Bulgarian GOC-K Hieromonk reduced to status of a Monk
Father John Vasilevski updated his website with information coming from different sources. He dismisses his deposal because he left in 2005 with a letter of release and addresses some interesting facts. Since he is in Bulgaria, I conclude he must have informers from many parts of the world. He reve...

Re: The Grace "light- switch"
I understand. But Metropolitan Chrysostom said that the principles of moderation he was abiding by wouldn't change. Moderation as a principle is good. It is why we don't follow people like Kyrikos, where every canonical infraction is a justification to rupture communion. But it is a principle, not ...
