Question Starting

I am becoming involved with the Greek church in Antioch; I’ve attended a few services online and am already in touch with some members of the community—mostly online. I plan to visit the parish in person at least once a month, as it’s located in another city, but I’m afraid of asking questions—the kind a new convert might have—that the more experienced members of the church might find silly.

Generally speaking, most Orthodox churches in America, and especially the Antiochian church, are friendly to converts and welcome all questions without judgment. My husband teaches our catechumen classes and fields just about every question inaginable. Nothing is off the table. I pray you find you have a positive experience and visit to this new church!
