Hi again everyone,

I haven't posted on this board in a very long time. I've been through quite a journey...in October 2003 I became a catechumen in the Orthodox Church (OCA jurisdiction). This Holy Saturday I was chrismated into the Orthodox Church.

I was originally Presbyterian, had gone through RCIA at a Roman Catholic church (but didn't join), then went to a Byzantine Catholic church. This is where I was when I was posting on this board. After I stopped posting, I started attending an Orthodox church. I just kept feeling compelled to go back.

I took the saint name of Juliana of Lazarevo.

Anyway, I just wanted to re-introduce myself to everyone.

Christ is risen!

Thank you, Michael, Admin and Alex!

Michael,

I would love to hear your story! Please feel free to send me a private message if you're up to sharing.


Alex,

Technically I wasn't "one of you before" since I was never officially Byzantine Catholic (I just went to the parish for liturgy). Although, in my heart I had been one of you. smile Thank you for your well wishes, my Orthodox brother!!! smile

Jenny
