To follow up on a question Incognitus asked... are there any sources for videotapes of Divine Liturgy, PreSanctified Liturgy, etc ? I have had friends make "home videos", which I appreciate, but you do get inferior picture (bad lighting) and sound quality (coughing, babies crying, mumbled singing). As someone also struggling in the wilderness, I would plunk down good money for a quality video!

There's a superlatively good set of video-recordings available showing the canonization of Saint John of Shanghai and San Francisco - can be obtained from the bookstores of the Russian Church Abroad. Try it; you'll like it. But it would be a great service to the Church to organize something on a regular basis.

Barbara,
The Byzantine Seminary Press Bookstore in Pittsburg offers videos of the Divine Liturgy in both English and Old Slavonic. I've not seen the videos, but the audio CD of the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom in Old Slavonic that I ordered from them is superb!!
Christos Voskrese!

You are all so sweet! Cyril: Thanks for the tip on the Augusta parish. Unfortunately, it's about as far away as Atlanta.  Pilgrim: Wow! Talk about small worlds. Funny, there were three Byzantine parishes less than 20 minutes from eachother where I grew up. (One was actually 3 blocks from the one I attended.) Now, I'd give a ransom to have one an hour away. Barbara: I did see on the Byzantine Seminary Press website something about video and audio recordings of the Liturgy of St. John. I didn't really get to read much about it (3 year old tearing up the house, ya know) but I would imagine they'd be pretty good. Thanks a whole lot everyone! I feel much more encouraged now.  Beth

And it helps, a lot, if you are married to an understanding cradle-RC wife, who is in the know... Amadeus, Thank you for your kind and supportive words. Boy, you hit the nail on the head with the above statement, my friend! I've been blessed with a wonderful, understanding wife who embraced my Eastern Catholicism right along with her own Western traditions right from the very start of our relationship. In fact, my most prized possession in the world is a three-bar cross she gave me in the early 70's, before we were even married. Unable to locate one "ready-made" in any local jewelry stores back then, she actually went through the trouble of commissioning a jeweler to hand cut it for me from a small sheet of sterling silver! Except for a short period during which the chain was replaced (and a couple of medical x-rays), it's not been off my neck since. She is my inspiration. I marvel as I constantly observe the many ways the Holy Spirit works through her, and I thank God that He saw fit to bless a sinner such as me with so sturdy a rock to grasp onto! a pilgrim

Sahm,
Hopefully, you're still reading here, though you haven't posted in a while. I was just e-mailing a friend, who is the wife of a Melkite priest, when I suddenly remembered your search for an EC parish in SC. We now have a mission there:
Melkite Catholic Community of Our Lady Protectress of All Christians
(using Sacred Heart RC Church)
888 King Street
Charleston, SC 29403
(843) 270-0727
e-mail - frtitus@comcast.net
Divine Liturgy
Sunday 9:00 am
Administrator
Fr. Titus Fulcher
Hope this is closer to you than the distant choices we were able to offer earlier.
Many years,
Neil

Thank you so much Neil!
Charleston, I think, is a little closer than Atlanta. But the drive would be much better. Atlanta traffic is nuts!
I know that I haven't posted in a long time. In fact, this is the first time I've been online in months. We just had a baby, and with a newborn and a three-year-old, I don't get online much anymore.
Thanks for thinking about us!
