Finished reading NewRome Press ‘Purity of the Heart’ Definitely a must read. “As quickly as it is purified, so quickly can it be corrupted. The heart is purified through many tribulations and deprivations, and through detachment and dying to all worldly things. Purification of the heart is the highest level of freedom from passion..”
This thread is simply for people who want to ask general questions about Orthodoxy that anyone can answer. DO NOT EXPECT IN-DEPTH ANSWERS HERE. Still go to your priest please!!!
Hey everyone, I grew up in the Assemblies of God and experienced religious, emotional, and physical abuse. I left the faith for a while, explored New Age, and then returned to AoG, though living a lukewarm lifestyle. Eventually, through my music producer, I discovered Eastern Orthodoxy. I’m currently a catechumen, taking my time learning what’s true while unlearning what misled me. I’m grateful to be here. ☦️
