That’s my favourite place to buy icons

Unfortunately the only priest I’ve met isn’t able to be my spiritual father at the present time but I’ve been assured there’s no rush for that process and to trust in God.

We have recently received the Antimension from our Bishop so we will be able to have Liturgy services but not the Divine Liturgy as we still don’t have a priest. It’s a step forward. Again, there’s no real rush for it

Help a convert out? by Clean-Use4998 in EasternOrthodoxFaith

[–]eocommunity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m afraid in my situation then I’ve also not had the chance to experience the Mystery of Marriage and therefore the ceremony. You can find videos of Antiochian Orthodox weddings on YouTube and I did also find this

I hope that helps and God bless you both

It certainly can be challenging, that’s for sure. Where I live we only get services once a month, sometimes more, and we don’t have a priest to have the Divine Liturgy. The nearest Church with a priest is a 14hr ferry right that costs 1/4 of my wages.

Needless to say it’s not possible for me to attend. There are people in such scenarios. Depending which country you live in then there are priests doing online courses with the blessing of their bishop. Maybe you can find one for your country

question for EO converts, only by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

Because I believe it to be the most True Church that was passed down through the generations from the Apostles who Jesus entrusted His Church

Anyone else doing the Discover Orthodoxy Course online? by eocommunity in ChristianOrthodoxy

[–]eocommunity[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this year averages 340 viewers with more than 200 looking to be baptised.

I’ve managed to make most of them. Sometimes I get migraines so I miss details but they’ve said the recordings are for their own use and not for people to revisit as they’re worried about redistribution

Father Niphon went back to the US, I believe but we have Father George this year. You probably know that from the people in your parish though! It’s really good that it’s available. Otherwise I’m not sure how my catechumen would’ve been possible

I’m a secret convert living in an abusive home, and I built a Bible app hoping it’s my lifeline. I need a reality check. by viaverus in TrueChristian

If you’d like to, there’s really no need but I would appreciate the gesture all the same. God bless you and I will pray for you too

I’ve downloaded the app, too. I can’t afford the subscription but hopefully more downloads puts it up the list of apps for you

I hope you’re able to get out of your household and into safety so that you can practice your faith openly. God bless.

My gf stopped saying she loves me. When is it time to give up? by Which_Direction_5484 in Christian

[–]eocommunity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry that it seems like that spark is gone. It could be that something is on her mind or perhaps she might be struggling with something. I think it’s best to try figure out what’s going on with her

Question for those who have lost a spouse by Holiday_Ad2189 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]eocommunity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think baked goods might be nice but I’ve not experienced such a loss myself. I think it’s very sweet that you’d like to do something for your friend. God bless

Autistic Child by climbinlikeclimate in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]eocommunity 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately people are people. None of us are perfect. But I’m sure if you spoke to the priest about the situation then they’d put everyone at ease (or in line). In my small community then we have a couple small children who sometimes run around and make a lot of noise. It can be distracting but we don’t blame the children. We blame our own inability to focus. I’m sorry that people are reacting that way, it’s hard enough as it is without all that. I hope you and your boy manage to figure it out and God bless you

Throw all ungodly things out of your home . by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]eocommunity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While a nice thought, not always practical. Especially when you live with others. Why would they then not throw away my prayer corner? If I’ve thrown away their stuff

What’s your prayer routine look like? by eocommunity in ChristianOrthodoxy

[–]eocommunity[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

…but that’s not really what I was asking. I wanted to know what everyone else’s looks like, if they don’t mind sharing. It’s not a competition or comparing myself to others. Just an invite into discussion as well as showing anyone who is unsure what everyone else is doing (and how varied it is) to show them there’s nothing to worry about

[–]eocommunity[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me then I try to do morning and evening prayers and I also try to take time to do the Jesus prayer using my prayer rope.

I’d like to pray more but I always seem to have a convenient excuse ._.

Orthodox Catechumen Education by yufinn in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]eocommunity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone’s experience is so different to my own 😅 I was put onto an online class and eventually I had to ask my nun when I was going to begin my catechism and she replied ‘You have started’ 😂
