CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hi KisKatte,
Welcome to the Oriental Orthodox forum! It's nice to see you here. I recognize you from TAW.
I'm sorry no one got to your OP before now. There are not very many of us on this website, and sadly I do not often check this place, precisely because it is so dead 99.9% of the time. So it looks like I missed whatever was in your OP before it was edited on Wednesday, but I wanted to say hello anyway. We may not be many here on CF, but I think we're mostly a friendly people! If you have any question about the Oriental Orthodox faith and practice, here would be a good place to ask it, though I am really only intimately familiar with the Coptic Orthodox practice in particular (the OO are much more varied in this regard than what you're probably used to in the EO church).
Anyway, I hope everything is going well in your life, and please feel free to come to this forum at any time! It's nice to have visitors. And even though I don't know what was in the OP originally, I will add my prayers to Michie's, since it's always good to pray at all times. May God give you strength, protection, and peace in every situation.

Yeah unfortunately it looks like he hasn’t been around since May.
So out of curiosity have you ever visited any OO churches other than the Coptic church? I have spent roughly an equal amount of time in Coptic and Syriac Orthodox parishes.

I have not. I was received into the Church in Albuquerque, NM when I was living there in 2012. It was so isolated relative to whatever else was out there that to baptize we had to travel 6 hours to the next nearest parish, St. Mark's in Scottsdale, AZ, as our community in Albuquerque at that time met in a private home that obviously did not have a baptismal font.
