As long as it does not reach gluttony, no problem sir. I try to offer to people around me. I like to grab something for others as I do for myself. The aspect of sharing helps to stay away from the gluttony factor.
Feminism is incompatible with Orthodox Christianity. Orthodox Christianity espouses respect for women. The ultimate example being the very Mother of God. I would hope that young Coptic girls, young ladies, and women would see Her as the ultimate …
Our Lord was a Jew. He conducted Himself within the cultural precincts of being a Jew. I even feel He was a patriot.
For all of the previous kumbaya postings, we are not Arab. I repeat for umpteenth time: Egypt and its aspects are identified as…

The Lord has done many wonderous things through Bishop Surial in Fiji and Australia. Just remember, we had him in the United States before His Holiness sent him to Australia.
