Is failure to attend Orthodox mass every Sunday a grave sin as it is in the Catholic church?

Careful, some Orthodox get upset when people call their "Divine Liturgy" "Mass". Between you, me, and the lurkers, it means the same thing.

Dear friend, on the point of a grave sin, in my mind, every sin is grave if forgiveness is not asked for.

As far as visit to Church for Divine Lithurgy (Theia Leiturgia) is concerned I think that reason or reasons for not going should be considered.

On the point of calling Divine Lithurgy Mass, hey... Ut Unum Sint.
