Thanks to You-2...*Joe's*.

Father Joeseph's simple but concise description of the History of his(!) *Orthodox Church* has been an eye-opener, considering my own lack of knowledge.

The only contact I've ever had with the *Orthodox Faith* was in Jerusalem at the *Church of the Holy Sepulchre* over 43 yrs ago. And, the mini-shrine in the middle of the church where One has to literally crawl in to the tiny room inside. I'll never forget the monk/priest, not speaking but pointing to...an Am.Express Card, a Mastercharge Card, Diners Club chargecard, etc. plus Cash alá USD /Swiss Franc/ Deutschmark etc., all lined-up together in front of something important. Yep. Kind'a like a super-turn off. Yep. 1st-Impressions were.... "holy-sh_t", just anther rip-off.
