@Deleted User well

It's Deus Vult time

@Arkona 92 btw I remember asking you about Orthodox worship. I attended vespers. Seeing an icon in person was something I cannot describe.

@󠀂 󠀂 I'll tell you a funny story,
About 5 years ago, I first checked out the Cathedral here after checking the smaller church, and immediately I saw the tender face of the Theotokos, and right then and there I had to convert

In an icon or was this a vision?

In the icon

Funny enough the Metropolitan in my area is located in *gulp*

San...Frrrrancis *cough* co....

*vomit*

The Bishop of the Midwest resides at the cathedral here

I think Christ Pantocrator is the icon that had the most profound effect on me

Which jurisdiction are you?

@Byzas me?

My midwestern bishop is in Chicago

Yes you

@Byzas AOCNA

Ah, right

Yeah my closest parish is goarch

Hopefully the Moscow-Constantinople shit is resolved

@󠀂 󠀂 you in SF?

There's the Cathedral of St. John Maximovich there

@Arkona 92 I live south og SF, about 40min

The heart of silicom valley

How far is the Cathedral of St John Maximovich from you?

Is St. John Maximovich under ROCOR

I don't go to the city often tbh

I see Bartholomew either being replaced or becoming an uniate (and being replaced)

Yes

I pray that he peacefully resigns as patriarch

Or that the synod does it

He might as well be a uniate if he wants to LARP as one

I pray for Russia and Georgia

He is larping so hard as one that he wants to legitamize uniate heretics

But seeing how Bart is a cia puppet, I doubt he is going to leave without a fight

@Byzas where you from fam

Indiana, USA

@Arkona 92 it would take 2hrs since I do not own a car

right on man I'm in IL

I would have to go by train

we have the same Metropolitan

Nice nice

@󠀂 󠀂 any Churches near you?
