" "We respect everyone, but if some people want to learn about Orthodoxy, we'll be willing to talk to them," said Ferzli, a native of Lebanon who's been priest at St. Philip for less than a year.

"We have nothing against other churches, but we'd rather live our faith the way we understand it."

The abouna tells it like it is. As I have said, if someone is interested, we're happy to tell them about Orthodoxy. If not, well, have another cup of cafe and perhaps a piece of baklava!

""We're not standing there like wolves at the fence looking over into the Anglican chicken coop," said Finley"

You know, with those beards, longish hair and black robes, some of our priests, especially after the fast of Great Lent, do have a rather lupine look about them, so I see how some could be fooled!
