EHEM!
What is wrong about that if i may ask?
This is only an evedence that we all are Christians, we all are the same, no one is better than the other. why see it as "cunfused identity" or "multiple personalities" when we can look at it and called it "a Byzantine person" (complex) whose parts complete eachother to form the perfect body in CHRIST?!

I don't think that Charles sees anything wrong with this - it's a statement of fact - and our emphasis can change from day to day depending on who the people posting are.

That's actually what makes this place so interesting - the people here .

We behave like all families do - we agree , we disagree, we agree to disagree [ at times :p ] and we look after each other.

We celebrate each other's Feasts

We support each other through the fast periods - even if we do talk about forbidden foods then :p

We rejoice in each other's victories and we share our sorrow when things go wrong.

Anhelyna - who could go on and on about the friendships she has made here and the education she has received

I agree with what Anhelyna wrote, even though I am still a relative newcomer here. This website is what I had been looking for, for a long time. It is a place where I can explore and share my spiritual yearnings that are both from the Christian East and the Christian West. It is a place where I can interact with others who have similar yearnings. And, it is a place of genuine fellowship. Thanks be to God and to you all for this place.
