St. Emilios...really? I think that might negate any attention to your posts.

Yeah, I agree. While the whole church is holy and blessed, I don't think we can consider everywhere as being part of the sanctuary. Thanks for all the information, Cephas!
I also nominate servant33. I'm reporting you to the mods, man - it's nothing personal ;) I seriously don't understand why no action has been taken to improve the forums, considering how easy you made it sound.

Thanks a lot guys for your encouraging words, they do help. My concern is that I'm really not 100% sure of what I see myself doing. Music Production has ALWAYS really i…
Wow! You went to Egypt. . you should've been absolutely sure that medicine was for you before you made that move.
Anyhow, you're only 22, man. You have so much time that you shouldn't be worried at all.

I am pretty sure you can wear them on the Chorus...the priests put their shoes there. But I think it is customary for deacons to not wear their shoes since they walk in…

It is better to take off our shoes once we are in the church sanctuary. Whenever we are in the church sanctuary we are considered in heaven before God. Out of respect and a…

I forgot to suggest this idea (since your situation isn't strange to me): Buy the books from your school's bookstore until the ones you ordered online arrive and then once they come in the mail return the books you brought from the school's bookstor…

I didn't mean if we have guests. I mean if we are the guests.

I'm not sure why it is relevant if the other guests were monks or not. I present the story as showing that love is more important than fasting. Everything …
That problem is definitely not limited to your church. Believe me it is much worse at my own church. We have about 60-70 Sunday School servants and a VERY small number of them do anything more than 1 hour a week to serve the kids let alone come to t…

It's not 'support to steal'. It's another perspective on the issue. It's not as black and white as some people would like to believe.

Dear Cephas,
Of course respect has to be due at all times, but respect doesn't mean to follow blindly or to turn a blind eye to some things which are not acceptable even fr…

You are a Christian and will always be one. You are a son of God and will always be one. You are a prince in the eyes of our Lord.
