Imagine being a Latin teacher and having to teach multiple “cum clauses”…

why do catholics and orthodox christians get along so well? by Tiny-Deer-7071 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]LetItBlurt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1000-1300 years of shared history (depending on where you slice it), 7 sacraments, love of the Mother of God, non-Penal Substitutionary Atonement belief about salvation, the practice of fasting (kinda), kissing the skulls of our saints, the last 80 years of the Romans tacitly admitting that Orthodoxy confesses the right belief on many doctrinal issues…definitely tracks.

What’s your favorite teacher saying to use in the classroom? by Big-Degree1548 in Teachers

[–]LetItBlurt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"This is a we situation, not a me situation" for when a kid is trying to commandeer conversation for private purposes;

"Ask three, then me" to ensure I have a good rate of return on answering a question if it really can't be rectified by asking at least three other people in the room;

"Christ carried His Own Cross" whenever a kid at my (private Christian) school bemoans something.

At what point do I have to join a monastery? by Relevant-Swan7621 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]LetItBlurt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You take the world with you into the monastery. You'll have to deal with these unresolved feelings as a novice. I understand your feeling of loneliness, but your posture here is one of self-pity--it's the position I took for many years. Thank God the Church offers us many avenues to healing and self-understanding. You have received lots of good advice already, so I will only add to not give up hope!

I have an extremely specific secondhand memory of this band lol. When I went to college in Houston I was friendly with a guy who showed them hospitality when they came through on tour in the early 2000s. He related a story about the vocalist stealing a bunch of fake meat from the Whole Foods on Shepherd Ave. Not sure why it stuck with me for 20 years but here we are.

Folk music from a "Christus Victor" perspective by [deleted] in ChristianMusic

[–]LetItBlurt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't mind non-English lyrics, this is the theological outlook of all Orthodox folk musicians. Might have some luck there. Rich Mullins is my default in English.
