About two months ago after long deliberation, we decided to take a major "leap of faith" and became catechumens in the Orthodox Church. We had looked for a long time for a place to call home. We searched for a church that met certain criteria; primarily we searched for a church that closely resembled the early church, the church that Christ founded. That search led us to Orthodoxy.
The struggle to truly learn about the teaching of the early church and to apply those teaching to a modern life has been interesting. At times it is a true struggle (facing one's sins is never an easy task) and at other times realizing the joy of re-establishing a connection with God has brought peace and fullness into our lives.
My attempt at this blog is to provide a dialog of what I learn during this conversion - both about the faith and about myself. It should prove to be an interesting experience.
