Q & A

Sermon in a Nutshell

Daily Scripture Readings
Worship

Why is skipping church a sin? It’s not like murdering someone or stealing, which harms others. Skipping services affects no one but me and God.

Worship

While on vacation, we attended an Orthodox Church where, during the Great Entrance, parishioners bent down and touched the priest’s robe as he walked by. Why did they do this?

Definitions

What does the word “synaxis” mean? I hear it used in church, read it in the bulletin, and notice it periodically on our liturgical wall calendars.

Imitation of Christ

Sermon in a Nutshell

Imitation of Christ

Today's Thought on Fasting

"The partaking of food has three degrees: abstinence, adequacy and satiety. To abstain, means to remain a little hungry after eating; to eat adequately, means neither to be hungry, nor weighed down. But eating beyond satiety is the door to belly-madness, through which lust comes in. But you, firm in knowledge, choose what is best for you, according to your powers, without overstepping the limits..."

St. Gregory of Sinai, Instructions to Hesychasts

"Hospitality... the greatest of virtues. It draws the grace of the Holy Spirit towards us. In every stranger's face, my child, I see Christ himself."

- Elder Amphilochios Makris
