My buddy Dean’s brother George was ordained a deacon today. Unfortunately, although I brought my camera I’ve no pictures—I never got the chance for a photo good enough to merit interrupting the service. I’m hoping to receive a copy of one with all the clergy (three deacons, five priests and a metropolitan; the last is the equivalent of a Roman Catholic cardinal) in front of the rood screen. Despite the length of the service—matins, liturgy, ordination, memorial service & blessing of the bread—it went quite quickly. It’s great to see him finally taking the first permanent step on his way to the priesthood. Axios!
