Hi Aaron! Many thanks on getting in touch with us! Please note I have placed you comment in the 'members only' section as I don't want your personal details being out in the open.
I am the same, I believe I will need this for myself to help struggle with this world, especially as the world is getting more and more hectic by the day.
God bless you brother and thanks for your support
There is much to struggle against my friend. It is not only hectic, it is painful for me. I'm very lonely out side of my church. The men aren't men in the world and the "women" are either girls or entitled. Now I've sinned and made many mistakes in my life, but it still hurts. Anyway you are welcome for the support my friend. Hopefully I can get my priest aboard too
We have all sinned brother, don't let that keep you down.
I know I am the same, it's not easy essentially being a 'spiritual outcast' in todays world, especially for us in the West who are living in a very lost and chaotic place. Only thing we can try to do is someone meet in the real world and begin forming communities ourselves, Civilization used to be bound by national boundaries, those boundaries no longer exist spiritually speaking, everyone is Liberal, the way to combat it is to make our Orthodox Civilization both virtual and real at the same time. That's kind of the hope of this project. Doesn't matter if you are in USA or Russia, majority of people are liberals, they just speak different languages, while we Orthodox regardless if we are in the West, Greece or Japan have more in common with each other than we do with our fellow Liberal countrymen. So we act and work as a single civilization, a virtual global cooperation you can say, that becomes our new Identity, Orthodox identity, second to none, where we work together for the benefit of all.
I will try to address this more in the video I am planning on making.
But as you can sense, I am trying to hit many birds with 1 stone with the Brotherhood, which is why it will be a huge task but God willing it will work.
Tell your priest about it if he is interested, the idea is when we start making chapters each chapter of men will need to have a close relationship with their priest also.
God bless
@Admin Thanks my friend. And same to you. I think this project will be a success given the dynamic of the men in my church
Hello!
I am also a reader (been about 2 years now) and am in Kansas City. It is nice to meet you.
I found your parish and see that you are in the OCA. I was tonsured in the OCA too, by Archbishop +Mark. I spent most of my time in the OCA in a few different states, but now in KC we are with the Serbians.
It is nice to meet you nick
