@dsaorthocaucus Glory to God! My parish didn't ever talk of closing (that I know of). But when I joined in 2020 my kids were the only ones there. We not have 25 or so, with several more on the way. We just baptized 19 catecumens on Lazarus Saturday :)

in 2018, my orthodox parish had a meeting to discuss shutting down. the parish had dwindled to a dozen regulars & as many irregulars. i started attending in 2021 and we were the only family with a young child. today, there's 20 young children and many families.

There are more practicing Orthodox Christians in North America than lutherans

Orthodox baptism of Sunni Muslim Turks (non-practicing). Although the Greeks of Turkey are no longer in communion with us (by choice), Orthodox baptism is nevertheless the only way by which Turkey can be saved

@FreeIrishman7 @C2Antiquity @BlakkBull @itsmorganariel Correct, the Orthodox Catholic Church.

42.000 Greek Christians were massacred by the Muslim Turks and 52.000 were sold into slavery 200 years ago, on March 30, 1822. The bones of the Greek Christians are preserved at the Nea Moni of Chios, a monastery founded in the 11th century and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It's often said that it takes about 10 years to truly acquire an Orthodox *phronema* when converting from Protestantism. At first I thought that sounded extreme. Now, several years in, I’m starting to see why. You can learn the prayers, master the services, read the Fathers, and even change your calendar… but rewiring your mind from a Protestant framework to the actual mind of the Church? That’s deeper work. It touches how you read Scripture, how you understand authority, how you experience time, mystery, and the sacraments. It’s not just adding incense and icons — it’s a slow, sometimes painful, dying to old ways of thinking. Orthodoxy isn’t a new denomination. It’s the ancient Church. And the phronema isn’t something you download in a catechism class. It’s caught more than taught — through years of prayer, repentance, obedience, and sitting at the feet of the saints. If you’re a convert in year 1, 3, or even 7 and you still feel like an outsider in your own head sometimes… you’re not failing. You’re right on schedule. The Church has patience. So should we. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us. ☦️

Hey girls, it’s okay if we get raped by migrants because it serves the greater purpose of ending racism. What absolute bs. Nooses for everyone. afru.com/price-worth-pa…

Honored to visit St. Andrew Stratelates Orthodox Cathedral and meet with leaders of the congregation here in FL-13. As we pursue peace, these conversations matter, especially as Orthodox Christians face persecution in Ukraine. Their message is clear: peace must come first. 🕊️

@itsmorganariel Time for all to return to the Ark of salvation- The Orthodox Church. Pre denominational, the Church that Christ established.
