I just received notice that our old church is meeting in person for the first time in 14 months, masks required. Too bad. We joined a new church that's been open for in-person services since the original lockdown. No masks required.

I find meeting with similar minded people out in the fresh air and sunshine is the best church of all, because "if 2 or 3 are gathered in My Name, I am there"...
LOL
Agnostic - taoist - buddhist person. I feel like the only non christian here sometimes
I'm a Buddhist. Our center locked down but has started having in person classes again. It has challenged our faith a bit seeing so many spiritual friends falling for the liberal BS, but we just hope the great awakening will happen soon!
Coptic Orthodox here, and our parishes vary from locked down to masked. It's unfortunate because I believe they are following this out of fear that if they do not they could be deported. Egypt is very hostile (their home country) and the persecution is greater than being forced to wear a mask or shut down the church for a little while. I do know in Canada that some of the priests still hold Liturgy in secret even though much of it is closed down.
I grew up in church but I don't attend now but I do have a relationship with the Lord.
This is where we got to with our old evangelical church. New pastor 4 years ago literally hurled the church to the left so much so we left angry every week. We knew we needed to leave.
If God didn't want you in a Church He wouldn't have sent the Bridegroom who established the Church. Consider this that maybe you are not in the Church right now but following schismatics or heretics and this is why you come out angry. God is showing you that isn't the right place.
I don't think that's what Sophia meant. Try rereading the post.
I don't know what "church" your going to but in the Church women are free to speak. We just do not have priestesses which historical are those who worship idols. But we have many female saints, such as the Theotokos.
