[QUOTE="MichaelWitcoff, post: 1526674, member: 16038"] The whole “it’s impossible to get sick in a Church building” line is one of those things that makes me cringe when I hear it. The Bible explicitly states that people who take Communion unworthily can get sick by doing so, and I know many people - myself included - who have caught something from large gatherings in a Church. I think the more realistic, Biblical and Orthodox approach is to view your health as something God has sovereignty over and that if you get sick, regardless of where you are when you contract the illness, it has a salvific purpose and can help sanctify you if endured in the proper spirit.
