I am going to be completely honest (and I know this shows a sincere lack of faith), but I am very nervous. I live in Hanoi, Vietnam and we will have the Divine Liturgy this Sunday (we often have to wait months for the Liturgy). There is an outbreak of COVID-19 in Hanoi and I am concerned. I will...

Would it be possible for you to expand on this? I am new to this situation and this is interesting.

Father, what does this mean for Russian Orthodox? I am a Russian Orthodox, so does this mean I cannot commune at Constantinople churches? Is it wrong to pray for them?

Thank you!

Father, I am studying at the American College of Education.

Hello Father, I am pursuing a Doctor of Education degree in Educational Leadership. My dissertation title is A Qualitative Study on the Perceptions of Teachers as Armed Personnel. I have submitted my proposal to the IRB and I am waiting for their response.

Hi everyone, im sorry I have not posted in a while. Life has been pretty hectic: in addition to being a school administrator, I am in the middle of writing my doctoral dissertation. I do think of you often and check in from time to time. Just wanted to share a picture. It’s been a while since...

I have read that some Orthodox priests have the ability to know a person's sins before they are confessed. (Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Fr. Matt once said that his Confessor has this ability). I mention it because a new priest has been visiting our community here in Hanoi. He does...

Kind of a funny, personal experience: I am the only American in the Russian Orthodox Community here in Hanoi. As you can see from my profile picture, I am Asian. Hanoi is pretty small and you often bump into people you know. So, it must be funny for bystanders to see a Russian shouting...

Hello :wave:! Hope you are doing well.

Thanks! I do miss the US a lot. However, it's just not a good place to be as an educator right now. Education is highly politicized and educators are often the scapegoats. As an international school principal, I have an opportunity to do the things that I could only dream of doing in the US...

I meant to tell you this in another thread, but I am also married to a Filipina. I am actually half Filipino myself, but I was born and raised in the US. I don't know Tagalog. To answer your original post: if I had a blank check to travel anywhere, I would probably go to The Holy Land with my...

Sorry that I'm just now responding, David. I am unable to check these forums as much as I would like. gurneyhalleck1 said it better than I ever could. I just want to add that I apologized because you revealed that you had some stuff going on and I didn't want to add to it. I should have given...

I will definitely talk to anyone about my beliefs, but I am more of a live-my-faith-and-hope-people-inquire kind of guy. To give an example (and to solicit prayers): my previous supervisor was just diagnosed with ALS. We had a retirement dinner for him last week, and during the dinner, I had...

It’s true that it is difficult to be a Christian here, especially for Vietnamese (they can’t advance in government work if they are Christian). But, there a lot of Christians here. The expat community has a huge Protestant group that my wife joins every Sunday. When I was Catholic, I would...
