The Good Struggle: High up in the mountains of Lebanon, an unexpected community thrives within the confines of a Greek Orthodox Christian monastery. This beautiful short doc offers rare insight to their almost silent way of life.

Looks interesting, thanks for posting.

Thanks for posting. Something I could never see for myself, however, unless it were a days or two retreat.

Informative video, and an example of the strangling tactic that the pact of Umar examples, yet Islam - which feeds upon the carcass of institutionalized faith - is hardly threatened a ritualistic religion with a monastic leader called the "His Most Divine All-Holiness the Archbishop of Constantinople, New Rome, and Ecumenical Patriarch," (though I feel compassion towards him) but by life-giving growing evangelical faith, which is indeed the greatest threat to Islam and dead religion.

So much for *Go into all the world......*

Colossians 2:20-23 If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the world, why, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations— “Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch” (referring to things that all perish as they are used)—according to human precepts and teachings? These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh.

So much for “Thou shalt not bear false witness.”
