Convert from Roman Catholicism, with a one year stay in Roman Seminary which is where I started the process of becoming Orthodox.

I was chrismated in the OCA, but currently attend an Antiochian Orthodox parish. The jurisdictional boundaries really do offend me, especially in a city with 5 canonical Orthodox bishops.

Nationality-American. Heritage=Atleast 3/4 German (Bavarian), with English, Scott and Irish.

My dogs are English. Their father was born in Brittian. And yes, he does have an English accent to his bark.

Converted from Southern Baptist where I first heard the gospel at age 20. Before that I was Muslim. May God be praised.

I am a member of an OCA parish but I roam liturgically :)

I am an American (my mom is mixed: Black, White and Native; my dad is Black)

OK, I thought it would be cool if we exchanged a little info. I'd like to be more familiar with those I interact with, so here are three questions:

Which of you are cradle Orthodox vs. converts?
To what Orthodox jurisdiction do you belong?
What is your nationality?

I'll start.

Convert
Antiochian Orthodox
American (Texas)
1. convert
2. OCA
3. WASO mutt (American)
