(In fact, I became Catholic rather than Orthodox largely because the nearest Orthodox church was on the far side of 80 miles of desert, and my car wasn't all that reliable. Roman theology is slightly more liberal and the liturgy is a LOT blander, but at least it was local.)<br /><br />If I'm reading your location right, there's an Antiochian Orthodox chapel in your city. You could do worse than to wander over there some Sunday morning and check it out. If nothing else, the services are gorgeous.Joel Martinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11954704.post-21688536642617029332013-03-12T14:00:09.902-07:002013-03-12T14:00:09.902-07:00My husband and I are...searching, for lack of a be...My husband and I are...searching, for lack of a better word. We each have a strong faith, but I have issues with churches in general (especially ones with public histories of child molestation), and we've been burned by the liberal slant of the United Methodist Church, and the American Episcopal church. I'm kind of wishing for a return to what history says Christianity used to be.heroditus huxleynoreply@blogger.com
