I was raised in a nominal Roman Catholic home, but without any really strong faith there.

As I ponder my pilgrim’s progress to Orthodoxy, however, I realize that I didn’t make the trip alone, but in a two-seater. And I wasn’t the one driving.

There are lots of things to like about being Eastern Orthodox - incense, liturgies, all the baklava you can eat - but you know what I like best? None of that stupid 'women's ministry' stuff.

God is not looking for repayment, but repentance. What heals a broken relationship is sincere love and contrition.
