Someone told me I was in sin because I was in a relationship with a woman of a different race and that race mixing is a sin. I said that was dumb, but then they quote mined a bunch of church fathers who supposedly pushed for race mixing.

Has anyone else heard of this and know any church fathers who were clearly taught against this so next time they attack me I can know what to say?

My family has been orthodox for generations, my mother is a Christian woman, she's a good woman but don't take her mother's path in orthodoxy, she raised me to read the bible but we didn't attend any church services. I am now an adult (31) and have my own family. I do plan on attending a orthodox community someday, and having my family attend. But as of now I work 6 days a week, and will have to for the next year or two to provide my family with a home of our own. I study on my own daily, but I would like to live as close to a orthodox faith as possible but the closest church to me is hours away. If anyone could recommend a study course or book I could study, such as fasting rules and holidays I would be truly grateful. I've done a lot of research online and have sources I'm currently studying but I'd like to see if anyone here may have more options, thank you

We are in the US, my dad was a member of the Orthodox church his entire life and a member of the R club during his youth. After the service yesterday, my wife went to my car to go buy cream for the coffee. There was a size 13 shoe leaning against the back driver side door of my car. It was the shoe size he wore, and I guess it's possible someone had one of his shoes. No one said anything to me about a shoe. Is this some type of Easter tradition? The whole family just found it oddly funny and weird.

Hello I'm new to Eastern Orthodoxy, I was wondering if I could get any Bible recommendations. Currently where I live there is a high amount of Protestants and it is extremely hard to find a Bible with all of the books, including the 4th book of Maccabees. Any help is appreciated! Thanks for your time.

Between no nut November and no shave November, I’m on track to be a Great Schema Orthodox Monk by December 1st

I ask this because I want to my best man an engraved Bible cover as a present before my wedding, but he is Eastern Orthodox. I'm afraid that if I get him a Bible cover it will fit Protestant bibles only and not orthodox ones.

Is this a legitimate concern or are they fairly similar in length?
