I received a private post asking for more information about Orthodoxy. I didn't start this thread with proselytizing intentions. Rather, since Orthodox Christianity seems to be one of the best kept secrets in the US, I thought I'd just share some information for those who were interested.
So, since there seems to be interest in learning more than I'm providing at the moment, I'm posting these links.
