Didn’t invite atheist family to my husband and I’s orthodox wedding. Thoughts?

For context: My husband and I are new converts, and have been coming to the church for a little over a year and a half now. Before we converted we got married secularly and did the whole typical wedding with friends, family, the whole thing. Well, my atheist family really isn’t…

Would you enter a relationship with someone who is Catholic?

I am friends with a great guy who is Catholic. We want many of the same things in terms of life, love, and family but he is Catholic. I set the boundary saying, I’m not okay with not being of the same faith with my husband and thus having a divided family in that regard. Here’s…

Finding an Orthodox significant other, is it even possible?

I (34M) really don’t think I’ll ever meet an orthodox woman. It’s unfortunate but I have come to terms with it. I live in PA and the only orthodox women I have ever met are old or relatives. I’ve gone to various churches and typically the same scenario. I actually do struggle to…

I need prayers

I have been avoiding the Parish I was received into because I had some interactions with the people there that hurt me. Please pray for me that I find a church where I can feel like I belong. Where I would be safe. Not sure why asking for prayers got removed from the Catholic th…

“Controversial” Saints

I know that every Saint is a sinner, but how should we feel about canonized people who did “questionable” (to say the least) things and there’s no signs of repentance? For example the “butcher priest” Milorad Vikojičić who killed 9 women for political reasons claiming to be “sav…

New to Christianity, want to choose Orthodoxy but intellect keeps tugging me away.

I'm 17, born into a Hindu family. I'm very new to Christianity but in the little time I've known the religion I've tried to study as much as I can. I'm deeply enamored by Orthodoxy. I look at the life of Orthodox monks and the whole way Orthodoxy approaches having a relationship…

Homosexuality and Christianity

Hi, I’m a gay ICU nurse. I’ve spent the last couple of years guiding people to the other side. I’ve witnessed traumatic death and horrific suffering in the name of religion (not necessarily Christianity). I’ve thought a lot about the “abomination” that homosexuality is, but I wa…

I came across a conversation today between Christians who disagreed on doctrine, and honestly, it's been weighing on me ever since.

I won't go into the details because some of the things that were said were so hateful and explicit that I don't even want to repeat them. One person was told to my brother to kill themselves, along with other terrible insults. Reading it just brought me down. It made me ask myse…
