Christ is in our midst!!
Steve,
Did you see the other thread we have recently had about prayerbooks? There is one that has come back into print because of the generosity of the family of the priest who first composed it. It had been out of print until now.

Re: Centralia PA - the end is nearing

Last week's Ukr Catholic eparchial newsletter mentions that a day of Prayer will be held at the ABVM church on August 17.
Readers are asked to save the date.
If & when anyone comes across any details, please post them. Thanks.
About a decade ago, my buddy and I were in the area, driving around and stopping at the many eastern rite churches in the area.
I had seen the Centralia church in a list, so we drove by but as we were not aware of the fire business, we ended up missing the town (or not realizing that we had driven through!).
This year may just be the year I revisit.

Re: TOWARDS A COMMON DATE OF EASTER: REMAINING FAITHFUL TO NICAEA

Dr. Gavrilyuk seems to favor the Aleppo proposal. Other than the Julian and Gregorian Paschalia, does he have any other choice? Are there other proposals that are being considered? Regarding the Julian and Gregorian stalemate, I repeat (see #Post425231) a conclusion from the Proceedings of the Orthodox Congress that is referenced by Aleppo but not quoted therein: Three Orthodox astronomers did calculations that were reported at that Congress, June 28-July 3, 1977. Only one of the thee attended and presented at that Congress, Prof. Georges Contopoulos. Here is an excerpt from his presentation, p 55: The conclusion is that the present calculation of the date of Easter by the Orthodox Church is not in accordance with the letter of the 1st Ecumenical Synod. It is not even in accordance with its spirit, which is to have all Christians celebrate Easter on the same day.
Now, what solutions can be proposed? The obvious solution is to follow immediately the Gregorian calendar. This has two obvious advantages:
a) It is in close agreement with the rule established by the 1st Ecumenical Synod, and
b) Easter will be celebrated the same Sunday by all Christians.
However, this solution has also some difficulties. I will not discuss the difficulties arising from any change introduced in the Church, due to the traditionalistic attitude of many people. This problem is for you [ajk:the bishops etc.] to discuss and solve …
I conclude my report … The calculation of the Orthodox Easter should be corrected as soon as possible. One possibility is to follow the present Gregorian Calendar …

EasternChristian19 does not understand the definitions of terms he uses to make apologetics. "Schism" and "apostasy" are quite different things, and not to grasp this fact betrays a severe lack of comprehension.
To be fair though, he may have gotten his definitions from the Orthodox, who when asked "what is schism?" or "what is apostasy," responded with the usual unhelpful chorus of "ask your priest" or "we don't define everything."
Lack of clarity is not a bug, but a feature of O[o]rthodoxy.
