Speaking of the Orthodox, why do they always leave it to the evangelicals to fight the culture wars? Or am I wrong?

How beautiful to see the churches and chapels crowded with people on holy days, and not just the elderly babushkas, but young people as well.

A blessed Holy Week to the Orthodox FReepers.

(We heard two words in Church Slavonic in the homily in my Latin Rite parish this morning. You'll hear the same two words next Sunday. :-))

Wishing a Blessed Holy Week to all the Orthodox Freepers. Actually, Orthodoxy is booming with converts in the southern states. My priest’s son lives near Charlotte, and there is a thriving OCA mission church there. It seems that the churches down South have become less “ethnocentric” and more welcoming to seekers from other Christian backgrounds.
