[Faith-talk] Dilemma

[Jenny Keller]

Yep, figured that out long ago, I started out Russian orthodox, which was awesome, they speak English, and they didn't require payment for membership.

But I moved to places were Greek orthodox as were the only option. So, that was sort of where it was. But yeah, I learned about. So, I started to learn certain things that were said. But Yep, wasn't exactly my thing. Luckily, there is the worst Russian Orthodox Church here, but his I said, you have to pay to be a member. Not!

The priest was very kind and genuinely glad I was at the Bible study. It was something facilitated to teach non orthodox Christians about the faith. I do remember the Catholic wedding was not completely in English but it was absolutely beautiful and much more meaningful than most marriages. I can't recall enough details to share, but it never left me. Unfortunately the marriage itself didn't last!
