@TheIllegit Don't compare me to that pusty grabber idol of yours, vatnik

Account that has been posting subversive, anti-Orthodox stuff under 'Orthodox News' name has been run by a non-believer for years.

- I have some personal stuff I need to solve, this account dropped heavily in the lit of my priorities

I don’t think I need to use my other hand to count the times I’ve been to church in the last three years. it’s dishonest to run such a page having almost left the religion it is about (despite the fact it still interests me)

Due to a variety of reasons this account is discontinued.

@texasmariam I guess he just didn't care about Ukrainian churches being bombed by Russians

Archbishop Peter of Chicago has asked us to write a letter to your Representatives and Senators to urge them to stand against Ukraine Draft Bill 8371 aimed at restricting the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Below you will find information to aid you in completing this task asked of us. Find the name and address of your Senators and Representatives: a. Find your Senators: senate.gov/senators/senat… b. Find your Representatives: house.gov/representative… What to Say: Introduce yourself as their constituent. It is best to write your introduction with a brief summary of your views, background, etc., and why this issue is important to you. Be clear and concise when delivering your message and request to policymakers. What is it you want them to do? How does their choice to act or not act, impact you and/or your family? In closing, be sure to reiterate specifically what you are asking them to do: Example: “I urge you to stand against the adoption of Ukraine Draft Law Number 8371, and similar bills, which could adversely impact Ukraine's unity and religious freedoms.” From personal experience in the Legislature, please understand that letters they receive that are mass duplications of the same message that DO NOT CONTAIN a personal message are frequently ignored. Please ensure your introduction and closing are uniquely YOUR VOICE, to ensure we have a strong impact. Please make sure you cite the bill to provide clarity Ukraine Draft law number 8371 on the prohibition of religious organizations associated with the Russian Federation. Be sure to include the below text Archbishop Peter of Chicago has asked us to include, verbatim. “During the ongoing war in Ukraine, the country faces a crucial test, where unity and internal resilience are vital to overcome complex challenges. Proposed legislation aimed at restricting the Ukrainian Orthodox Church will divert us from the goals of unity and freedom of religion. It is essential to focus efforts on combating corruption and supporting national unity, ensuring every citizen's right to freely embrace their religious identity. We strongly urge against the adoption of these bills, which could adversely impact Ukraine's unity and religious freedoms.” #OrthodoxChurch #OrthodoxChristians #Ukraine #ROCOR #UOC

Fr. Peter Heers responds to Archbishop Peter of ROCOR orthochristian.com/156706.html Abp. Peter’s letter is an instructional letter intended for his clergy, but was also posted and circulated online and thus became a point of wide discussion.

@EliJah14451550 Also, Prague is nice. Been there twice. Love fried chees with hranolky. Also attending a service was quite funny since Czech for my people kinda sounds a little bit silly. I remember I giggled a couple of times during the service.

@EliJah14451550 Tbh I have no idea how on earth he managed not to get tried in Russia for his blog posts. People there were sent to jail for much less. That inexplicable.

Former #deacon Adrei #Kuraev emigrated from #Russia. Kuraev was a lecturer, writer, advocate for #Cyril to become #patriarch. After Cyril got elected, Kuraev got more interested in #whistleblowing what eventually got him laicised. He also spoke against #Russian war in #Ukraine.

International Conference for journal “Theologia” was completed – Second conference to be held in 2024: orthodoxtimes.com/final-curtain-… @orthodox_times

@wales_rm @EliJah14451550 He was in the middle of college at the time KGB ceased to exist. Doesn't really matter

@EliJah14451550 @OrthodoxNews2 Possible, I suppose.

@EliJah14451550 Kuraev is a jackass who has some good takes, more and more lately. IMO he does more good than bad at this point

@OrthodoxNews2 What are your thoughts about him? Since he moved to our country, it would be great to know more. Thanks
