You should prolly PM me anything further. But yes, the army is paying my degree, I am commissioned, and I will serve once done
Arsenios, are you by any chance in Washington state? My old church from before joining the Navy is there.
Username RaphaCam, real name Raphael Camisão, Saint's name... Well, I'll only be chrismated into the Church on April 30, but I'll probably stick to St. Raphael the Archangel. I enjoy his protection and my bishop disapproves of giving new baptismal names to people whose cradle names are already that of saints. My parents are "cultural Catholics", let us say, but my girlfriend is going to become part of the Church with me.
I attend the cathedral of the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church in Rio, where services are frequently held by HE Chrysostom. The whole archdiocese is basically composed of converts. I unfrequently watch some services in a Russian mission under HE Leonidas, where I'm friends with the deacon and some of the other converts.
Welcome aboard, Raphael!
All the way from Rio!
All I can say is: Wow!
Arsenios

Welcome back!Hi, I'm Basil. I was on this forum about a decade ago. I converted to Orthodoxy from a protestant background about 21 years ago and currently attend an amazing OCA parish. Nice to be back on the Ancient Faith forum!
Welcome back!
Do you remember what your screen name was then?

No, I am not Appalachian Orthodox. I've never been to the Appalachian region, nor am I very close to it....so...?We have a 300+ pounder named Basil, so we call him Vasili...
Are you really an Appalasian Orthodox?
Arsenios
