Dear Administrator,

Before I congratulate him, is he for or against the UGCC Patriarchate? smile

O.K., O.K., I wish him all the best already . . . smile

And thank you, Father David, for your work each year on the Typicon - it is very helpful (what I can understand of it....maybe someday I'll learn some more! confused ).

Slava Isusu Christu!

Pardon my ignorance, but can someone please tell me what the acronym SEOD means?

Dear Father Deacon Lance,

"Science?" You mean they believe in the "evolution" of Eastern Church doctrine et al.? smile

AXIOS!!!


Some of us do live and die by the Typicon - can't WAIT to see the entry for Great Friday next year biggrin - and are tremendously grateful for Fr. Petras' ministry, writing, teaching, and good humor. For those of us fortunate enough to attend the Metropolitan Cantor Institute, his sessions are a major highlight of each session.

So what's the Greek for "It's about time!"

Congratulations and may God grant Archpriest David many years in His service.
