This morning I was officially prayed for and introduced as a catechumen (learner) of the Orthodox Church; and it was quite a moving experience for me. For some time I have known that God has been leading me in this direction, leading me towards the roots of our faith and back into communion with His Church. And as Father Tom was praying for me and blessing me into the process of becoming in communion with God and His Church, tears welled up in my eyes because I knew that I finally felt like I was “coming home” to where I felt I belonged.

It was an all-around good morning for me. In addition, I had a few questions answered today regarding contemporary expressions of Orthodoxy in the arts. I’m thankful that for once, I feel like I’m at least walking in the right direction with some sense of purpose or vision.
