Dear Friends,
Today I was received into the Orthodox Church by Chrismation and Holy Communion. It has been many years since I began my journey toward Orthodoxy, with many detours on the way. I now feel at peace that I have come into the True Faith.
In Christ,
Tony

Ditto per Hypo,
I just like to plagiarize my Polish brother's works, still praying to get off the fence myself, so many choices, so little time.
Slava Isusu Christu,

James, my half-Polish brother, it must really hurt to keep sitting on that fence by now, especially if it is a picket fence or a chain-link fence!  Idz z Bogiem! Hypo |
