Our community in Kent used to rent a Cemetery Chapel in Maidstone, and surrounded by so many graves, recent ones as well as those going back 150 years, we used to pray in the Liturgy for those who had been recently bereaved, those who had died unmourned, and those who had died by their own hands, that God would have mercy.
How spiky are the various Orthodox communities about prayers for wider categories and named folk at the Liturgy?
Is there a difference between praying with those who are heretics and teach heresy, and those who are heterodox through the failure of Orthodoxy to witness in the West for centuries?
If we pray for the Queen, the Court and the Government, should we not also pray for family and friends, at least for their salvation and conversion to Orthodoxy?
What's the different attitudes, I'm not dogmatic any and either way.
