Elizabeth, yes I have been to Charleston. My husband and I spent a lot of time there during 1995-96, when I was working and living in Orangeburg. What a beautiful city.

John, thanks for the advice about reading up on the saints. I will definitely do so!

There is a wonderful Orthodox retreat in the Charleston area, St. Silouan, run by Fr. John Breck and his wife Lyn. You can read his writings on Life in Christ online at oca.org

Dear Matrona,

When you go home for the summer, you've got to visit this retreat house in Charleston and let us know about it.

Elizabeth

The retreat is the most wonderful of places. It is situated on 70 ac on Wadmalaw Is. on the shore of one of the creeks that runs through there. While Fr. John gives priority to clergy and monastics, they welcome laity to visit, study, contemplate, and worship the Holy Trinity while at St. Siluoan.
