Yes, but Prince Philip was Greek Orthodox by birth. He took his wife, the new Queen Consort, Camilla, to Greece to stay on their yacht in Greece while he went to Mt Athos on his honeymoon.

hmm, thanks for sharing, I see where you're at now.
It's painful to not have a Church nearby.
I see how you admire the old believer family in the Siberian forest now.
I'll tell you, I admire them too!
They had each other, and the Family is the strongest Church!
Was he?
Prince Philip was. Sorry. His son, Prince Charles then, King Charles now. Married to Camilla, Queen consort.
I have mad respect for the monarchy. I was born on a military base in Germany, and my parents named me after Princess Alix of Hesse, near where where was born. The wife of the last Czar. <3
I thought a czar was in other countries, not Germany. It is purposefully confusing, these titles.
That's a nice name.
I was reading through some free sample pages of the Law of God book by martyr priest Father Daniel Sysov and found info on my name derivative.
Kings, prophets and priests were called 'christ' s as this word/name Christ means anointed one.
It has always perturbed me being named Christie, it felt arrogant? to be named after God and I always wondered why my parents dared this. But in what I read in the book Law of God, Christ does not just refer to Jesus.
To be honest, I'm still confused... but I feel like my parents have not done anything wrong now and this helps me with yet another Ten Commandment I work on daily, "Honour thy father and mother"
Thanks to that webpage that gave out 40 free pages of this book I can't afford right now and thanks to the rvf posters that were talking about this book in another thread.

A czar was a king in Russia The monarchy from different countries married one another. That's how the Queen of England married a Greek guy, too. I think he was actually being branded a Nazi, and the aristocracy did some creative rebranding.
When I was younger I read much more than I do now. Lots of fairy tales and romance novels. I listen to a synaxarion for the lives of the saints every day now, and read the little bit of scripture that's in my daily readings every day. Right now I'm doing a Bible study on Romans, too. I'm not great at reading anymore. As a student, when you have some reason to recall or write about the information it's easier.
And I try to honor my parents. The best way I know to do that is to stay right where I am and try not to be overly ambitious.
hmm, I went many years without reading much and then I started reading again 3 years ago.
That's interesting how you are honouring your parents.
Pinetreefarmer, Alix, why is noone talking about how it is against God's Commandment to kill? You know that Commandment?
I think this link is the Patriarch of the church I was baptised in last year.
I think he is saying that killing is ok because it is cleansing of sins. I don't know enough Russian to translate.
Why are the Russian church leaders not reminding the people that "Thou shall not kill"?
Patriarch Kirill said that death in the war with Ukraine “washes away all sins” and actually compared the mobilized with Jesus Christ - Latest News

As to honoring my parents, I think my parents think I best serve them by raising good children. We had a lot of distractions growing up, in a metro area, and I had kids at a pretty difficult time economically. I was wild and didn't want to participate the way they felt was acceptable.hmm, I went many years without reading much and then I started reading again 3 years ago.

We moved to our family farm to help care for aging elders when my kids were preschool aged, instead of being one of the interesting families that come a few times a year from far away and keep a career.
As to not killing -- It's my understanding that Russian Orthodox leaders think it's okay in certain circumstances? I think the Russian Patriarch said it's okay if you die in obedience to your faith. Which would explain all of the Israeli flags in Baptist churches in the south, except we aren't Orthodox.
I don't vote, and I object to war. We have been in some sort of conflict since I turned 18. I have seen too many men driven mad by war, and families ruined. However, I think if it's a time of conflict it's better for young men to join the military and choose a non combat role so they're not becoming cannon fodder.
This is remarkably thorough. It's funny that in the 15th/16th/17th rules of each list the formatting gets tired.

this is unacceptable to break this Commandment. It is number one reason I chose not to bring kids into the world and understanding/accepting it is against God's word to not multiply I stopped going to church-I'd be a hypocrite or duplicitous to keep attending.
Three decades later, as I reached menopause and could no longer biologically reproduce, I approached God and asked and offered Love once more. He forgave me! He must need me for another purpose! Why else am I still alive!?
It sickens me that human beings murder each other and it is my opinion that the Ten Commandments have more importance than the writings of the apostles. Because of the direct handoff of the already written tablets to one prophet? Probably, that's what makes me believe and trust they are the most important Words.
Was there somewhere else recorded in the Bible books, Old or New, where God directly handedoff already written rules to a man?
Written rules? I only know about when God handed them down to Moses. But I think the point of the entire book is to provide a pedagogical model?
that's the time I'm talking about. Were they already written or did Moses have to write them as God 'dictated' them?
Dictated by God to Moses on Mt Sinai.
And war and murder are sad, but, something about putting all your eggs in one basket and guarding it carefully.
I will reread these sections.
I cannot be convinced murdering is acceptable.
It is painful not more take this seriously.
I found incredible comfort in the character's personality in the movie Hacksaw Ridge.
I have selfdefense training but still don't believe in murder, ever.
Regarding Moses/10 Commandments: God, the Holy Trinity, through Jesus Christ directly gave us new laws/commandments. "You have heard it said...but I say...." (See in Matt. chapter 5 and there are more in other places.)
another attempt to dissuade me from following the Ten Commandments from the same poster, wow.
Thank you God for this ability to see patterns, I am humbled and thank you for the lessons. Much time has to pass before meeting people that also follow your Word. I get frustrated when people don't have the same perspicacity as me, same life experiences. Please give me strength O Lord, please let me keep loving them and trust in You to reveal those that are ready to accept Your Truth. I am weak and a sinner and I'm trying and will keep trying, Thank you again my dear God, I appreciate these challenges, I learn the most when I'm in despair for recognition.
I missed You for this, that's why I cry. I accept everyone and will keep loving them, Amen

You misunderstand me and I am not all that clear in writing. I do not reject the 10 Commandments. They alreqdy incorporate everything we are to do and not do. The trouble with forums is that they are limiting and can be difficult to discuss adequately, without writing tomes. Jesus, who is God of the Trinity, is the fulfillment of the Law. That is all I'm trying to say. I'm sorry for offending you.

Isn't that the truth!
Especially where the membership comes from many different cultures, walks of life, educational and social backgrounds, etc.
A thing that commonly happens to me in trying to discuss complex ideas in this way with people of a very different background from myself (which is basically everyone), is that I will choose my words very carefully to convey a particular and precise literal meaning - only to have those words interpreted through the lens of internal bias and expectation, and taken to mean something quite different than intended.
"Oh, so what you're saying is (common sentiment that shares a few key words with my statement but is almost completely opposite in meaning)???"
NO!!
(It happens often enough that most of the time I can't even be bothered to try to set the record straight anymore. I don't have the patience to try to teach linguistic nuance, and I am not familiar enough with the cultural and vernacular expectations of others to re-phrase my thoughts in a way that they can understand based on the very few/narrow/limited definitions/applications of certain words and ideas that they have learned/accepted.)
