Mark Ortega

I was interested in learning about the Orthodox faith. Called ahead about visiting the book store to purchase some books and a prayer rope and was told I could come prior to the vigil on Saturday night. Ok, so I made the trip by car. I spoke to a parishioner who asked a clergyman about opening the religious article room. I was told that I could not at this time, in a manner that was not particularly welcoming. I understand humans are humans. I will not generalise onto the Church from one brief experience. However, left a cold feeling in me.
