More is more

In an effort to fill every waking moment with something to do, I've sent in my application to St. Stephen's Course in Orthodox Theology and also found a New Testament Greek course starting up at St. Maximus the Confessor Orthodox Mission in Denton, TX. I've taken Homeric Greek before... haltingly, but I hope to really go after it this time.

Amusingly, Greek was not my original intent. I had emailed the local OCA cathedral to find some instruction or reference material on Slavonic. They in turn pointed me to St. Maximus, who, when I called, mentioned the Greek class. There is no Slavonic course to be had, but the priest there (Father Justin Frederick) said that he might have time to answer any questions I might have after Greek class. I also called a few seminaries and a book was recommended to me that I think will have to be purchased from Light and Life. The things I do for prostopinije.

It seems the class will be from a lot of the ROCOR/OCA/GOA parishes around Tarrant County. I'm promising myself to study assiduously to make a good showing for the Byzantine Catholics ("represent" as I believe the current juvenile vernacular calls it).
