This morning Yorb and I were chrismated and welcomed into the Orthodox Church! There were 2 baptisms and 4 additional chrismations as well. The service was wonderful and we have some wonderful sponsors.

Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostWell, I recommend books to read, and I've offered to spend time with them at a monastic retreat. I've helped them with establishing a prayer rule. If I don't see them at church for an unusual length of time, I'm responsible for reaching out to them and seeing if there's something wrong I can help with. Much of the burden of counseling/discipling falls on the priest, who hears their confession and is thus in a better position to know what they need, but I freely answer questions to the best of my ability.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
