mmoa_writes at 10:09pm on 02/04/2004Been researching the certain Christian denominations, and the one which seems to have the cleanest track-record is the Orthodox denomination/s. I find that interesting.
More so, perhaps, because I'm not an Orthodox Christian: I'm a sarcastic Anglican with rather mystic tendencies...
...
I would appreciate having some insider's info, as it were, on the Orthodox Church: currently, I'm looking for a local one which I can perhaps attend or meet the resident priest and discuss/worship.
*breathes*
Well, spring is actually here: I saw my first slug in ages today - a tiny little thing that was dehydrating (the next time anyone says that God is Love, with a vapid smile on their face, I shall slap them and ask them about the slow, rather painful deaths that insects/other tiny critters (par exemple) find themselves suffering...) and still curled up mid-crawl along the wall.
I shall start trying to replant my herb garden: the lavender and mint is still alive, but it would be nice to expand my range.
*reads more essays*
It's very odd: these days I find myself reading slash - which I used be rather enthusiastic about - as I would any other piece of fiction (fan or non). It's got no more sparkle or that extra 'something' than any other piece of literature I have to read. I'm hoping it demonstrates a slow, but sure, maturity coming about (finally).
Took it's $^£!"*% time.

To be honest, my fascination with Orthodox Christianity is really quite shallow. I travel to Nigeria a lot with my family and whenever we return from Gatwick airport, I always see the small Orthodox church hidden in trees: When I was younger, I just loved the fact that the 'onion' on the tower was bright blue and gold, whereas our church roofs were all slated and pointy...
These days, it's my inner mystic bitch that keeps yelling at me to go forth and do much investigation *sighs*
PS Oh yes, and the icons: I could spend hours staring at them.

*sigh* Unfortunately, the closest Orthodox Church I've been able to find is two hours away, so I don't see a whole lot of investigating in my immediate future. Perhaps one day, though. *tries to remain hopeful*
