First of all, for the Christians,I put this in 'Comparative Religion', because even within Christianity there are different approaches and understandings to what is means to be that Christian or a follower of Christ. And there are differences in how the Spirit comes...
Hey Friends,
A little over a year since I attended Worship at a Coptic Orthodox Church, I'm checking the Eastern Orthodox tradition.
Been putting it off for a while, over this last year, but I've reached a point where I felt called to check it out.

Hello Friends,
I'm wondering if we can have a bit of a talk about this text.
