Many people want to know more about my background and what brought me to Orthodoxy. I am a convert. When I was Roman Catholic, I lived on the same block as Holy Family Ukrainian Catholic Church and this was my exposure to the Byzantine Rite and I am extremely grateful to the parish for this.
Let's get the record straight. I am not an African American. I am an American. I have very little interest in Africa. Although I am black and Orthodox, I am not Ethiopian. Please don't insult my Ethiopian brothers and sisters by calling me one of them. It is also insult to me because the person who insist that I must be Ethiopian is denying me the ability to make my own decisions.
