@maksimologija Are never in the church when there isn't a service? Folks hang out and read scripture and pray for hours before and after services at my church. Please consider your own actions instead of judging folks.

Why would anyone need an "Orthodox Study Bible" during the Divine Liturgy?
Do they want to read the marginal notes during the Epiclesis?
Honestly, I really don't understand why people who so clearly want to be Protestants insist on infiltrating the Orthodox Church.
English
@AngloVarangian I usually see the reverse, Greeks being annoyed that converts think it's necessary to attend church regularly.

@TheIllegit @GeorgeNicholasK I hope they build new churches and don’t just keep upgrading. We need to focus more on wide growth than tall growth. Actually we should be careful to keep parishes within the Dunbar range (100-250 members).

After Bright Friday liturgy at St. George in St. George, Utah, visited the site of their new temple under construction. They have 50 catechumens, at what was a small mission parish, and so they already need the space. Christ is risen!

@DerekStephanBro @AppyOrtho Quite a few Indian converts at my church in Texas, although Indians who haven't abandoned Izzat and Jughaad aren't the kind of Indians joining the church.

@AppyOrtho What if Indians decide to become Orthodox? 😉

As Orthodoxy grows across America, one thing the laity should concentrate on in the social aspect of church life, is to maintain and enforce cleanliness and manners.
Lining up, no cutting, modest portions at coffee hour, speaking quietly, not scrolling, controlling your children, cleaning up more mess than you made, leaving a space cleaner than you found it, etc.

@KalebAtlanta If you don't serve liturgy in the language of your children and grandchildren, they will depart the church glfor lack of understanding.

@tatereeves Population of Jackson, Mississippi: 141,449.
Population of London, UK: 9.1 million
Jackson homicides, 2024: 111
London homicides, 2024: 109
Maybe spend a bit less time worrying about Britain and a bit more worrying about all the murders on your doorstep you useless fat cunt.

As we say in Mississippi,
“Bless Your Heart.”
Or as you say in the UK,
“As-Salamu Alaykum.”

If the UK joined the US as the 51st state. We would be the poorest state in the entire union. Mississippi which is portrayed at swamp dwelling hillbillies in majority of international media is above us. I don’t think people grasp how far we’ve fallen in real terms when it comes to GDP per capita. We’ve seen no growth for almost an entire generations. We’ve seen our productivity decrease and our tax increases. The average person on the UK, on £50,000 is less well off than your average Mississippi swamp dweller.

I’m neither an Eastern Rite Catholic nor in schism. I’m a Greek Orthodox Christian.

@jihadwatchRS @kathleenmadigan My understanding is that you're an Eastern Rite Catholic but you're in schism.

Without telling me your age… what was the very FIRST video game you ever played?

Yeah the numbers don’t actually bear this out according to pew research.
Catholic share of U.S. adults:
2007: 24%
2023-24: 19%
For every 300 Catholics who convert, more than 800 leave.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 Catholics in the United States🇺🇸 have now reached 52%, officially making America a Catholic nation. Little by little, we hope to welcome more Protestants and Muslims into the Catholic faith as well. By 2040, our vision is for the whole United States to be united in one faith. We firmly believe that God makes a way where there seems to be no way. 🙏🇺🇸🇺🇲

If Orthodox recreated this, half of them would be ex-Roman Catholics 🤨

@AngloVarangian At the cathedral we occasionslly have old lady gypseys who show up to steal from purses during services.

My small little rural Midwest Parish has developed this unique Paschal tradition of being raided by a family of 30 gypsies who leave right after Holy Communion and don't come back until next year. My Priest has tried to get them to fully join our Parish community but they still kind of do their own thing. It was really nice though hearing them sing Christ is Risen in Romanian.
