"Don't have one?"

Not one that somebody else wrote out of their own desire to shape the Gospel in conformance to their personal will.

Paul said that we should be prepared to offer a reason, but he didn't say that we should be prepared to recite a reason that was prepared by others.

Didn't want to make a whole post of this but thought you would like to see it.

His Beatitude, Metropolitan Herman, received two monastic priests and three novices from the former Eastern Rite Catholic Monastery of the Holy Cross here into the Orthodox Faith during a visit October 27 and 28, 2003.

The pics are stunning. Do go and see them here and less stunning ones here.

Also it appears a school came along? What do you think?

Thanks for your reply.

So it is originality and uniqueness that counts in one's statement of religious beliefs and faith; it's important that it not be one prepared by others?

According to Paul, of course...

Which you just did anyway.
