Howdy!
On 16 January I found my Spiritual Father.
Being a convert, I am looking for the best way to describe what a "Spiritual Father" is to non-Orthodox friends and family.
So far, the best that I have been able to come up with is:
"A Spiritual Father is the Orthodox equivalant to a guru."
i.e.; A spiritual guide and teacher for life (until one of us reposes,) even if I relocate.
Anybody have any better suggestions?
