Dear Friends,

Just a note to ask for your prayers as I begin preparations to fully join the Orthodox Church of Christ.

Part of that preparation is to immerse oneself into prayer and reading and cease all discussion about topics not related to that goal - as requested of me.

This Forum has helped me toward that step - which was perhaps inevitable. Perhaps that Presbytera ultimately got to me. smile

Perhaps also my constant bickering about this or that here revealed a restlessness that needed to be finally put to rest.

I'm happy with my decision and so on I go!

Cheers,

Alex Roman

I thought you already were a member! ("Orthodox Catholic", ne?)

Prayers, my thoughtful brother, for you and your family during your time of prayerful discernment.

Alex,

You'll be in my prayers. I undertook a similar journey not too long ago.

Posters are reminded that Mr. Roman has asked for prayer. Questions about the action he requested prayer for are not appropriate to this thread.

God bless you Dr. Roman. I pray for the day we are again in Communion externally, as we are supernaturally. I am both happy for you and a little sad for myself.
