Fr. Viktor Sokolov was a fairly big figure in the Western US - I'm sure he had connections in SVS, too, but you'd know more about that, Choirfiend.

I am honored and grateful that he took the time to talk to me, and for just being who he was, for it turned me to Orthodoxy.

Memory eternal Fr. Viktor!

I'm friends with his son, Dn. Kirill.

How can anyone forget Elder Ephraim of Philotheou? He is probably one of the most known Orthodox Priests in the United States, not to mention many other countries.

B/c we forget he's a priest, since he's kinda a geronda first

Yea I can see that. Most people don't equate a Priest being a Monk, especially here in America. But they are there..

I'm doing some summer studies at Indiana University right now and I'm attending the Orthodox church here. The older priest just retired, and guess who's coming in to fill his empty spot?

Fr. Peter Gilchrist's son!

Cool, huh?

 

[choirfiend]

Fr. Peter Jon!

 

[ByzantineDixie]

Cool, huh?

Uh...ya!!! There is a word the Greeks use for these big parties they have....how much fun would that be if the priest brings his guitar and everyone joins in the sing-along!
