I long for unity with the Orthodox Church, too....and am drawn to their beautiful liturgy, in so many ways, but just among our Russian friends have found some very hard and rigid views.

It's all very complicated.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283395756742923658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457724869443903686.post-23137153904579944972008-10-18T10:59:00.000-07:002008-10-18T10:59:00.000-07:00)-:yes I have been sad about this too.)-:yes I have been sad about this too.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15230898402299847447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457724869443903686.post-43922646923746126122008-10-18T05:27:00.000-07:002008-10-18T05:27:00.000-07:00Sr_Egor said...xopownn ytpo(My feeble attempt to t...Sr_Egor said...<BR/>xopownn ytpo<BR/>(My feeble attempt to type good morning in russian without knowing how to type Russian characters)<BR/><BR/>I am very sorry to have read the news in your latest blog. But I am confident the short time Vera spent in your home and being a part of your family has made a great difference in her life. I had no idea the Russian Orthodox Church felt this way about Protestants.
