I am an Orthodox Christian, a deacon and a lawyer, more or less in that order. I welcome readers, comments and cards and letters, in no particular order. I also have an ulterior motive: if you are interested in working toward establishing a mission of the Orthodox Church in the Appalachian Mountains where North Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee all converge, our interests also converge! So if you are in or near Cherokee, Clay or Graham counties in North Carolina, Towns, Union, Fannin or adjacent counties in Georgia, or Polk County in Tennessee, please let me hear from you! You can reach me at seraphim at evlogeite dot com.

There is no …depravity of which I was not their teacher. I am amazed, Abba, how the sea stood our licentiousness…when I had entangled in my net so many souls. But I think God was seeking my repentance. For He does not desire the death of a sinner but magnanimously awaits his return to Him.
— St. Mary of Egypt
