Hello,
My name is Amete Menfes Kidus. I was baptized into the Ethiopian Orthodox Church with my husband and our children two years ago. I was raised in a Southern Baptist home, so Orthodoxy is still very new to me. Our Church is too far away to visit very often, so we attend a Greek Orthodox Church here in our city. I enjoy the Greek Orthodox Church, and since the Liturgy is in English, I am beginning to understand the Orthodox Faith more and more. I may have many questions that I hope you all can help me with over time.
Thank you.
Amete
