I never wear jeans to Church, although, I am considering it now since I've progressed beyond the Hyperdox stage. I wore a suit to Pascha, but I also wore a black, heavy but casual jacket as well because it was pretty cold.
It's not a Hyperdox thing to dress formally in a church. I used to dress less formally when I was more Hyperdox than I am now. EDIT: But on the other hand making a fuss about what to wear to the services IS a Hyperdox thing. Unless of course one happens to be a dandy. I showed up in church in scandals one Sunday with kahki shorts and my priest asked me to not dress that way at church. What I think is immaterial. If my (or your) priest asks you not to dress a certian way, respect his wishes. note, If my priest is hyperdox, then Im a bucket. PP I think he's talking about people who give you ugly glares when you don't wear a silk tie and an expensive looking suit every Sunday, not when your priest tells you to wear something above. Personally, I think it is much more important to dress in clothes that I can survive wearing in a crowded, stuffy building for 1.5-2 hours while standing and pay attention. Dress soberly, but I'd much rather be able to be attentive to the service and wearing a nice, short-sleeved collared shirt than in a black hole of misery because it is blazing hot and everyone is required to wear heavy formalwear. |

I walk to school. Part of my route includes cutting across the campus of a presbyterian church. They don't seem to mind this, as there is actually a sand trail that has been set up part of the way. They also provide, as a courtesy, a garbage can with the church's name on it along the trail. I frequently use this garbage can to throw away drinks, snack wrappers, etc.
So, my questions is: in the eyes of Hyperdox Herman, how many heresies have I committed? Is outrage?

Discerning this and not being critical of your brother or sister is what keeps one from being Hyperdox ! |

Anyway, they do seem to be recognized by Rome as separate from the UGCC. But then I dont understand why they participate in the UGCC's conference of bshops. Shouldn't they withdraw to point out their independence? They are present as observers/guests, not as members of the conference. If you check the UGCC website, it's usually better now in noting their presence as such. (There was a period when it listed them as if they belonged.) In addition to what David said, I think part of it is just the idea of having a place in which they can collegially interact with other Byzantine Catholics. Many years, Neil |

You may think that's because it's the way people in Romania die eggs, but Herman knows it's because paint is a godless Latinization. On an aside, I really like the color the onion skins make. |
