So I have a question, and I know the best way to get an answer would be to talk to a local priest (I'll do that soon). But I wanted to ask in general. The reason I ask is because I am seriously considering attending an Orthodox church and possibly becoming a catechumen. Though nothing is guaranteed with me. I'll spare you the personal details as to why.
So I was wondering. How do churches accommodate potential converts whose work schedules conflict with their class attendance? I ask because I understand some parishes may require at least six months of classes. What about if their work schedule prevents them from regularly attending, for example, services on Sunday (but they can make it to vespers)?
I'm just wondering what you all have seen people do, or if there is something that usually happens.
I understand there is so much more to life than work and money, but you know how it goes with those of us who are in debt, or people who have to work several jobs to scrape by.
Thanks in advance for reading this and responding to me. I hope that I'm easy to understand and that I didn't come off as disrespectful.
