Hey, Kosta. Went on a cruise in Alaska, and while there visited a Russian Orthodox church in Sitka. Is your belief system and worship style anything like theirs? Just curious.

Hi Irish. Hope you had a wonderful trip. As yo your question, I am not sure what you are referring to in particular, so I will answer in general: all Orthodox share the same faith and the, the same (1700 year old) liturgical service and the same manner of worship.

Regional chruches have also local customs and traditions but the essential parts of the liturgy remain unchanged, as does the manner of worship.

I will be happy to address any aprticular questions you may have.
