It gives me joy that you went to an Orthodox Church, even though I'm not Orthodox, and that you talked with the priest. I would've liked to have been a fly on that wall :)
Amusingly, it's one of the pamphlets in a rack when you enter St. George's. Oh yeah, it was at Holy Transfiguration, too. Am definitely a fan of the Orthodox pamphlet-racks.
Greek Seminary in Brookline One of the sadnesses about not attending HDS is that if I'd gone there, I could've taken classes at the Greek Orthodox seminary for credit, through the Boston Theological Institute.
teleportation solves the hymen issue Oh, wow -- what a sentence. but the implications that sex/bodies=bad bother me. I can ask Mary about this sometime if I get the chance. (I mean, *my* Mary, not that Mary.) She's the most conservative Catholic I've ever met and always has good informed answers about things.
I find this interesting because nobody nowadays speaks in tongues or drives out demons, Um, well, depends on who you're talking to, yo. I promise I could find you some people right here at YDS who'd tell you emphatically otherwise.
that I had friends who were interested in Orthodox theology so I wanted to attend an Orthodox service. *feels loved*
And I'm curious about your reactions to the liturgy itself, not so much the thinky stuff, since my impression is that Orthodox liturgy is less about the latter than Protestant worship is. And I've still only gone to one sparsely-attended Vespers, not a Sunday liturgy... Did you feel awkward at all?

What else did you talk about with the Father?
