So I am wondering if there has been any movement on the official formation of the E.S.O.B.(Eccumenical Synod of Orthodox Bloggers)?
I mean it looks as though we have suitable candidates for the “brothers” or “Bishops”, representatives from the Orthodox Church in America as well as the Greek Orthodox Church, among others. We need to get together for a sobor, and elect us a Primate.

After my recent experiences I’ve decided to become apathetic and let the whole lot just destroy themselves with their legalism and ‘religiousity’.

Speaking for the Grand PooBah and Supreme Patriarch of ESOB,
I say that MHG’s last comment deserves death by discussion.
He shall be forced to listen to a 4 hour debate on whether
using CoffeeMate constitutes breaking the fast or not.Buwahah!
In all seriousness, I have yet to year back from MeanDean from
Blogs4God about the Orthodox cache. I’ll let you know…

First of all, CoffeMate is a creamer substitute.
Using it in its liquid form, then yes, that would constitute a breaking of the fast.
In its granulated form however, it lacks the ‘cream’/milk aspect. However, once it touches liquid, it regains its ‘cream-like’ nautre and therefore, once again, would result in the breaking of the fast.
So … if one could utilize the CoffeeMate in its granulated form, without reconstituting it into its ‘cream’ state, then that would not break the fast.
However, this is impossible, because even if you were to eat the powder CoffeeMate straight from the jar, it would turn to ‘cream’ upon application to your tongue.
BA and HA!

To paraphrase my Spiritual Father, “It gladdens my heart to know that the you have so little sin in your life that you worry about whether or not to put cream in your coffee.”

The soft little teddy made me mad. The more beer I drank the funnier
he started to look at me. He needed some tough love.
