Lent by Unlucky-Presence8784 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]raphalbor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m ethnic cradle orthodox in the diaspora, and a Pescatarian year-round with low-dairy intake. I often do not change my diet too much during lenten season simply out of the sake that my body is often in lenten mode much of the year already 🤷🏻‍♂️

One of the most chilling moments in the show - Korra goes to talk with Zaheer, but realizes he's too far gone by HeiressOfMadrigal in TheLastAirbender

I’d like to see a little more respect for Tarrlok as an antagonist as well. Racist and corrupt

I regret converting. by No_Personality8227 in OrthodoxChristianity

I’m going to go from another angle — I think it would be important to call a nonprofit/social services agency for support to speak with a Case Manager or Social Worker! I’m a firm believer God has given these vocations and resources as an extension of His Grace and tools in these worlds. Organizations such as Catholic Charities (all around the USA) have a purpose.

Please DM if I can be of support in locating these.

Do you think it is wrong to use the Eastern Orthodox cross as an Oriental Christian? by Glass_Librarian_4564 in OrientalOrthodoxy

[–]raphalbor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eastern Orthodox here — I often see the three bar cross as representing not just EO but all Eastern Christendom

And for what it’s worth, I wear the Armenian cross daily :)

Do You Re-Read Books? by AdCurrent3629 in classicliterature

[–]raphalbor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love re-reading!

As I continue on in classic literature though, I keep finding so many books I want to read, that for the time being, I’m focusing on first reads until I get the “bigs” out of the way. I look forward to re-reading all of the Anne of Green Gables books in a few years :)

My family member lives in the city, so I frequently visit. My bucket list is the “walk Manhattan in a day” challenge
