    Russian Orthodox here in AK..although I also go to the Greek orthodox church sometimes too:) soups are good like veggie borscht and red stew with no beef:)

    You have a Russian AND a Greek Church? You probably also have a Taco Bell and a road that goes to another town.

    (I'm in Juneau)

    Wow-you would totally be blown away by DC, lol we have Russian, Greek, Byzantine, Romanian, Antiochian, OCA, Georgian, Etc etc etc!

    I'm originally from Jersey. I had to go past a Syrian, Greek, and Russian church to get to my Russian church.

    Religious threads don't go over well here but I see no problem with this, no one is doing anything wrong or offensive!

    15. Divisive Topics Are Better Suited For Groups, Not the Main Forums

    Divisive topics, particularly those that seek input from or are relevant only to a select group of users, are better placed within an appropriate Group rather than the Main Forums. For example, topics relevant to only one religion should not be placed on the main forums but rather within a group related to that religion. We reserve the right to move any topic to a relevant public Group which interested members may join if they wish to continue to participate.

    ETA: That's why she said that.

    Divisive topics, particularly those that seek input from or are relevant only to a select group of users, are better placed within an appropriate Group rather than the Main Forums.

    We're talking about dietary restrictions of a certain faith group, not debating theology..

    That being said, it might be worthwhile to gather up some folks who commented in this thread and create a Group in 2 weeks once Lent starts. The focus doesn't have to be Orthodox, per se. How about "40 Day Vegan Challenge (aka Orthodox Lent)" . We could post recipes, suggestion on where to find vegan/lenten products, etc. Let me know if you might want to join or co-moderate.

    I know you're not debating theology.
    It's just threads like this (arguments or not) are viewed as divisive and may be locked or deleted.

    Good luck with Lent and the dietary restrictions =]

    I am also a Russian Orthodox Christian living in Alaska. I live in Russian Mission. Haven't been much of a church goer since I was a child. I used to get scolded a lot for "messing around" while being an Altar server. The person who was doing the scolding knew I wasn't being mischievous while serving but would still scold me not the other people who were really being mischievous... I haven't tried to observe the lent since high school :frown:
    Edit: Feel free to add :wink:

For example, i just bought a cabbage, boiled it and cut it up and added tomato sauce, salt, pepper, parsley. Its like making stuffed cabbage without stuffing ☺

    I bet there are a bunch of Russian Orthodox in Alaska given the history there.
