Thank you very much for The Ten LGBTQ Commandments (TransExodus 666 [The Queen James Bible]), Jennifer Davis. So sad and tragic this is what we’ve come to in our land. May your brilliant satire jolt many into seeing the demonic—and Marxist and Freudian—undergirding of the LGBT movement.

To add to my previous comment, some might think that this satire is too extreme—that it doesn’t accurately depict the beliefs of many people who identify with the LGBT movement. That may be true, but I think it is a pretty fair representation of the beliefs of most of the LGBT political activists of our day. And often, the more deeply committed people are to any erroneous ideology, the stronger the message has to be to shake them out of their confusion and delusion. May this satire be an example of such tough love—loving people enough to risk their displeasure in trying to touch their conscience for what is right and good and true in the sight of our Creator and Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ.

In September we suspended our Patreon account when two or three factors combined to make Orthodoxy in Dialogue’s future uncertain. 

Thanks be to God, and to the encouragement and moral support of many of you, we surmounted that roadblock stronger than ever—and more determined than ever to provide a voice for the voiceless within and beyond the Orthodox Church. Read More

In Orthodoxy in Dialogue’s Facebook group we are discussing whether to begin allowing comments on the blog.

So far the polling has overwhelmingly opposed the idea. Those proffering reasons for their opposition basically agree with our original decision in August 2017 to disallow comments: experience shows that comments descend so quickly to the level of rank incivility—especially when commenters hide behind fake names—that it cheapens the publication and focuses readers’ attention more on the comments than on the actual substance of the articles. 

Be that as it may, as an interesting experiment we have opened comments on the following four posts: Read More

This article refers mainly to the Josiah Trenham: The Scandal section in Orthodoxy in Dialogue’s Archives 2020, to which a number of new titles will be added beginning the evening of February 12.

Via multiple posts and articles full of hysteria, wild exaggerations, distortions, and innuendos Giacomo Sanfilippo (also known as Peter J. SanFilippo), has been relentlessly defaming and attacking several Orthodox Christian priests, bishops, and seminary professors. Why? Because these men dare to publicly and fearlessly defend the Orthodox Church teaching on homosexual sin and warn the Church about many false teachers (like Sanfilippo) and deceitful venues that question, challenge, mock, deconstruct, contradict, and distort Church teaching, practices, and theology, especially regarding morality, human sexuality, and marriage.

Since 2017 Sanfilippo has used his inappropriately named “Orthodoxy in Dialogue” website, his Facebook pages, and his Twitter accounts to maliciously condemn these good men and smear their reputations. Sanfilippo has launched an unholy personal vendetta against these priests and teachers and is fomenting rebellion inside the Holy Orthodox Church. Read More
