Dear Friends and Members of the Parish, having been frequently asked questions about Church customs and appropriate behaviour during services, I was pleased to come across this article by Fr. Sergei Sveshnikov which I think will be a very good help to all. +Fr. John
Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars: She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table. She hath sent forth her maidens: She crieth upon the highest places of the city, Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled. Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding. ~ The Way of Wisdom, Proverbs 9:1-6
