Hi Bruce, First I'll recommend that you do a search on "vegetarian" on the internet, you'll find more receipes than you can ever use. This is all my opinion,...

Bruce, Coming from a protestant background where fasting was virtually unheard of, I had the same questions coming into The Orthodox Church. Generally, you...

There are a number of "Lenten Cookbooks" you can find, including perhaps even at the St. Joseph bookstore (I haven't check recently!). Light & Life has a big...

Rick, Thank you for your very complete and succinct answer to my question regarding Holy Scripture interpretation. Your information has "put me in my study" to...
Folks, If someone picked up a schedule of services this week, would you please send me those dates, service and times? We were out of town this weekend, and I...
Don- Thanks for your feedback. One obvious point I forgot last time is that the Orthodox Study Bible has a nice article in the back outlining Orthodox...
Richard, Yes, the Orthodox Study Bible. I had forgotten all about that. I bought that bible and then put it away after i purchased the RSV Oxford Bible. I was...
Howdy, Since the Bishop is coming next weekend, I thought I would ask something about proper etiquette while he is here. Fr. Matthew stated a few things after...
Bishop BASIL is one of the sweetest men you will ever meet. If you forget to follow proper etiquette, then he isn't going to 'strike you down' with his staff....

Hi Bruce,
Etiquette:
1. We kiss the Bishops right hand; not shake it.
2. We ask for the Bishop's blessing; not how are you doing. 3. Bow when he blesses you...

Howdy, Got a few curiosity questions being one of the new kids on the block here. 1) Why did the Bishop wash his hands during the Liturgy? Also, why was it...
Very good questions. 1. Although I am sure Father washes his hands before service, he does not liturgically wash them during the service. I have only seen...

... I think of this as showing an important part of our understanding of what Church is. Fr. Alexander Schmemann often points out in his many books on liturgy...
Got more questions about some stuff: Not sure if this question will make sense or not. Fr. Matthew, in a recent sermon, talked about how Jesus's name was not...
Actually it used to be the Godparents who choose not only the baptizmal name but the common name (in the Greek church when my mother was born). This explains...
Candy This is such a beautiful answer, I am forwarding it to my godmother, an excellent spiritual support for me. I was baptized as an adult and feel I must...

Hi All, I was just startled by the reaction when I told one of guys here at work that I hope my guardian angel has only a post-it note with him when he stands...
By happy coincidence ;-), the new version of The Word magazine put out by the Archdiocese has an article about selecting names (it is the January 2002 issue,...
I don't have any references to detailed discussions of guardian angels, but you can at least start with some Biblical references. In a passage where Christ is...
Howdy, My two cents from the new kid on the block... Psalm 91:11 may also help to provide some proof. Bruce ... angels, but you can at least start with some...
Howdy, Another question ... If the 3 wise men didn't arrive to offer their gifts to the baby Jesus until 12 days after His birth, then why are gifts exchanged...
Bruce Here is my two cents - In many places there is gift giving on January 6, called 3 Kings Day. I was first introduced to this in Puerto Rico. Kind of...
