About this blog

Welcome to the orthodoxkansas.org blog. This blog is authored by the clergy of the Kansas Deanery of the Diocese of Wichita and Mid-America. The administrators hope the blog will be used for both spiritually edifying posts (whether original or from patristic sources) and parish announcements.

Upcoming events at St. Mary Magdalene, Manhattan

This Friday, 13 November, beginning at about 5 p.m. Fr. Joseph will be at St. Mary Magdalene House, 913 Riley Lane to hear confessions. At 6 p.m. we will serve Small Compline.

Our 9:30 a.m. Saturday Divine Liturgy for 14 November will commemorate the Holy Apostle Philip.

The Nativity Fast begins on Sunday 15 November. Until the 20 December from which time until Christmas the fast is kept according to the usual Lenten rule, there is a katalysis for oil and wine on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and for fish, oil and wine on Saturdays and Sundays.

Next Friday, 20 November, we will serve Readers’ Great Vespers for the Feast of the Entrance of the Theotokos into the Temple. The next day’s 9:30 a.m. Divine Liturgy will be the Festal Liturgy for the Feast.

We will soon be beginning an Inquirers’ Class, tentatively scheduled for Thursdays at 6 p.m., with a location yet to be determined. Subdeacon David will be leading most sessions of the class. We will be reading Bishop +Kallistos [Ware]’s history, The Orthodox Church, The Didache (lecture notes on the teachings of the Holy Apostles from c. 100 A.D.), and the epistles of St. Ignatius of Antioch and St. Clement of Rome. Please pass this along to anyone (else) you think might be interested. As usual, our Inquirers’ Class will be suitable for those considering conversion to Holy Orthodoxy, those merely curious about the Orthodox Church, or Orthodox faithful who want a review of ‘the basics’. Anyone interested should contact Subdeacon David at dyetter@math.ksu.edu.
