WOAH WOAH WOAH WHAT!?!? I just now read this! Holy guacamole! Holy shnikees!!! Woah now!? Why was this not made into a thread earlier by Anhelyna herself!? Why the stealth conversion!? I want details! Details! Tidbits! I need to hear the whole scoop here! Thanks be to God!!!!

Thank you :)

Wednesday was the day - in our wonderful little Chapel here in Glasgow. I was surrounded by this wonderful little Community here - a mixture of Russians , Greeks, Romanians and now Ukrainians :)

I'm now a member of the only English language Orthodox Church here in Scotland - and I have to admit I'm still a bit stunned by it all.

Ha ha, waiting to see your response may have been the whole reason behind her 'stealth' conversion ^_^

The very few folk here who knew about it were asked to keep their mouths tightly shut until it actually happened - and they managed it - even the person who had actually met me in real life.

There was an awful lot going on in my life at that time - lots of things had to be sorted out and eventually they were

Next time drop me an IM if you think it’s worth pointing out to ole Gurney! :swoon::doh: I’ve been doing 32 report cards and conferences, dealing with a new principal, meetings, and a wife working a week straight of 12’s...throw Gurney a bone, people of TAW! Dang!

LOL I was wondering why no reaction from you. ;)

hehe - Fr Matt knew - All4Christ and ~Anastasia~ knew - and it had been intended that only they knew - to help me on the day it was being announced as a fait accompli

One other person realised - but then he was part of the Community into which I'd moved.

I'm honest - we were all looking to see what your reaction would be - and though it's later than we expected - it's exactly what we expected :D

yeah, I thought gurney would have taken the bait right away when I posted my intentionally vague thread title.
