Hierarchical Divine Liturgy at St Aidan Manchester on the Second Sunday of Great Lent
Sayedna Silouan visited St Aidan, Manchester to serve the Hierarchical Divine Liturgy on the second Sunday of Great Lent. The weekend started on Friday evening with the Akathist to the Theotokos. Sayedna Silouan preached inspiriationally about acquiring an Orthodox mind and digging deeper into the life of the Church during Great Lent so as to acquire genuine holiness ... a theme that he developed in some depth over the weekend through no less than 5 excellent sermons and talks. Within that collection of talks, on Saturday evening after Great Vespers, he spoke to the parish fellowship of young men (OSTIA) considering their vocation to serve in the Orthodox Church. OSTIA stands for the Orthodox Society of St Timothy the Apostle. Here is a photoalbum of the Sunday Liturgy.

The multiplayer side of Free Games sounds especially appealing. Competing against real players instead of predictable computer opponents makes every match feel less scripted and much more exciting.
