Expect not to sleep until you get back home.
Also, buy a bag of these for the monastery: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QcnrrMCJ5GI/S4tAjXUN1hI/AAAAAAAABpI/8M10aCtHEwQ/s400/slippery+visit+2010feb+073.JPG

This is an excellent question. I have my opinion but I won't divulge it for personal reasons. I would like to elaborate on the question.
It's a conundrum. The "official" a…
I don't think you get me. My question is what if the Deacons don't know responses, ie: on Sunday when none of the Deacons know 'al el-orban', should we just skip 'al el-orban' or should the girls sing alone?
I never asked if there weren't any Deaco…
...cause girls shouldn't be allowed to sing alone? Or cause hymns should never be skipped?
The reason I'm asking is because imikhail's (and ophadece's) opinion is at variance with what I believe, and I'd like to be corrected.

I do lead, at times.
I do teach, at times.
I do mentor, rarely.

Correction: your posts on tasbeha is a form of mentoring.
ILSM,
I know you tend see things from a different perspective (a Deacon's perspective), but regarding my previous post about girls chanting/leading in hymns, do you think it's better if the responses are skipped than for the girls to sing alone? I …
Khen Piekhristos! Why are you yelling at me!!! :)
I didn't use a microphone (my church is too small for one anyway; the Deacons don't even use one, unless they're reading an Epistle or the Gospel).
What if there are females who know hymns that Deacons don't; should they be unsaid? Or when the Deacons vest into their Tonias, are the ladies allowed to sing Tenoo-ousht/Shere Maria alone? How about in Communion when there aren't any Deacons to lea…
Father Peter,
Your post just gave me the chills (the good, cozy kind of chills, like when I read a chapter from Sirach). :)
User157,
Priests have heard and seen everything, you'll never surprise them during confession.
Also, they have more impo…

If a High School top Cheerleader made a mistake, people will only think she is human-- she won't lose her credibility in front of her peers.
I think Roman Catholics are the High School Cheerleaders; no matter what they do, people will still love th…
Ophadece,
I respect and agree with your opinion, but I think things are handled differently according to their circumstances.
I'll PM you with more detail.

That's not what I meant.. bottom line is ladies aren't to give instructions to men, but to other ladies and children, and may contribute if they see something not completel…
If I'm going to start a forum, I'm only allowing Fr. Peter to post. I ask all the questions, and he answers them all without people arguing. It will be a perfect world. But I'm not sure if others will be too happy with it...
I'm thinking about composing a list of Orthodox songs in alphabetical order, so we don't keep asking the same redundant questions if so and so is ok to listen to.
I'm just a little discouraged though, because I know like the other Protestant song …
Your post is absolutely perfect in every way.
Father, based on your interest in secular music (which isn't filled with "foul language or abuse against women or is obsessed with sexuality"), I think you'll like this one:
I didn't say my English dialect is authentic. I said my pronunciation comes naturally to everyone, but they purposely speak in different accents (because of their location...etc).
It makes sense if you think about it.
Also, if I can't see you, you…
People from the South sound the way they do to match their style of cooking, and also because they're enemies with the North and want nothing to do with their dialect (PCWS: Post Civil War Syndrome). The North sound the way they do because they thin…
The one that comes natural to every human on earth: the way I speak.
I don't understand why everyone has to pretend to sound weird just cause they live in different countries.
Fr. Peter,
If we ever meet, I'm going to ask you to say 'Bingo' in American English (I refuse to use the word 'accent', because we don't have one). I just never heard a Priest say 'Bingo' before; I'm looking forward to it.
