I know very little about the Georgian Orthodox Church, and if anyone out there could direct me to a good website I'd appreciate it. Is there anything important about this church that I should know before going? As of right now, there is still room on the tour if anyone would like to go.

It is the official church website. Georgian Patriarchate Website [patriarchate.ge] I hope this helps and that you enjoy your trip. In IC XC, Father Anthony+ Everyone baptized into Christ should pass progressively through all the stages of Christ's own life, for in baptism he receives the power so to progress, and through the commandments he can discover and learn how to accomplish such progression. - Saint Gregory of Sinai

At any rate, the guy to get in touch with is John Graham; jagraham@wesleyan.edu LM
