Part of the audio series Our Struggle, part of The Narrow Path Podcast.

"Dear Listeners,

"We shall now continue our course on the struggle of True Orthodoxy in the contemporary era with an examination of the relationship between the Russian Church Abroad and the Genuine Orthodox Christians of Greece. As I said in regard to the first Our Struggle post, this talk may not be for everyone: new inquirers into Orthodoxy and new converts in “World” Orthodoxy may simply be bewildered because of their lack of historical background. This was true of our first four talks, and it is even more true of this podcast, which presumes quite a bit of knowledge about the people and events involved."

Morning and Evening Prayers

Q. Are the prayers in the blue prayer book [A Prayerbook for Orthodox Christians by the Holy Transfiguration Monastery —ed.] compulsory for everyone? I mean their morning prayers and the service of Small Compline. My confessor gave me a special rule but wasn’t clear about whether this replaced the book prayers or was in addition to them.
