O Holy Saint Nikolai The enlightener of Japan, You share a dignity and the throne of the Apostles; you are a wise and faithful servant of Christ, A temple chosen by the Divine Spirit, A vessel overflowing with the love of Christ.

My priest isn't particularly enthusiastic about Orthodox discussion forums, and I think that it would be best for me at this stage of my inquiry to stop frequenting TAW for the time being.
Thanks for your help.
With love in Christ,
Grace

I'm actually between juridstictions at the moment. Russian in general though. Technically, still registered at MP parish, though I currently attend an OCA parish.
Convert. Baptized in the Coptic Orthodox Church actually. Long story. Switched mostly because my husband is MP and is heading into ordination at some point.
Attend St. Vladimir's Seminary (hence the OCA). MA student in Christian Theology. I have a pet rose plant, which isn't doing to well. Currently addicted to the online role-playing game Guild Wars. And I like european music videos.

My parents are United Methodist. I've been an obnoxious atheist most of my life, and a Christian less than a year. I formerly attended a non-denominational evangelical protestant church.
