On the Feast of the Synaxis of the Archangel Michael and All the Heavenly Bodiless Powers

Archimdrite Kirill (Pavlov)

When amidst a distracted and sinful life you suddenly feel a revulsion for sin, and under the influence of bright thoughts you get the desire to change your way of life, it means that your guardian angel has found a serendipitous moment to place before your inner eyes sin as it really is, in all its foulness.

Orthodox render assistance to philippine victims

Reported from the scene of the event

In the words of Fr. Kirill, the situation is extremely grave. The whole city of Tacloban was destroyed. Corpses are still lying on the streets. Those who survived have lost everything, while not even food distribution has been arranged, and as a result, the overwhelming majority of survivors have not eaten anything at all for several days now after the typhoon. Starvation threatens them.

Radicals in Sadad: they have crossed the Rubicon

No matter where Al-Qaida goes, it leaves a long, bloody trail of destruction and murder. The Syrian town of Sadad is no exception on the “service list” of Takfiri[1] organizations, which includes terrorist brutalities. The ancient Christian holy sites humbly accepted this cross also—the now common cross of the entire Middle East… We will tell it like it is: The picture before us (and recorded by our camera) was simple horrifying; by its scale and drama it is incomparable to any single tragedy in the Syrian chronicles of recent years.

Orthodox Field Guide: Orthodoxy in America

Jamey Bennett

Orthodoxy came to America in four waves. The first wave was by missionary activity in Alaska, a land that belonged to Russia at the time.
