Fr. Moses

[SaNcTaMaRiA]

I loved this video about this priest in MO. Anyone ever been to his church?

Yes, I have. I've only been once; it is in a small Missouri town. I run into him occasionally. He is, I think, one of the founders of the St. Moses the Black brotherhood which has a conference every year at various locations around the US. St. Mary's of Egypt Orthodox Church in KC and Holy Archangel Michael Skete, north of Cameron, Missouri have close ties with Fr. Moses.

I'm within driving distance. Definitely going to visit some time, God willing. Perhaps this summer.

never been, but I'd like to go someday

I grew up in a toxic household with racist parents, who tried to pass on their racism to us children. We all took to what we were taught in our youth, but as we have become adults, most of us have since left that vile hatred behind long ago, becoming our own people who know right from wrong. Watching this video on Father Moses makes me weep for my parents, my siblings and how we grew up, the couple of siblings who still hold on to this hatred, and for racism around the world. I simply must meet this priest.

I'm going to drive and see him this summer I think. Don't worry I won't take euchuarist. He's very inspiring.

What an incredible man. He seems to have come to peace with the racism that affected his family and has forgiven those who did such things.

I know it's a ways down the pike, but I'd love to hear what you thought if you go.

it's like Fr Roman Braga, who was tortured by the communists, who said the atheists could never take away his love for them.

He certainly seems like a very holy man. My wife and I will take a trip. Been wanting this attend DL.

He is so forgiving. I can just see Christ in him.
