Where is the closest eastern orthodox hospital? We do not even have a wing at St Jude's,,,where is our version of Samaritans purse?

The Bishop's reaction to this virus was protestant in spirit. Their faith was guided by reason. In reality, a patristic response calls for reason guided by faith.Mikailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06189539560391433081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73042886598650075.post-12201553473871066722020-05-09T20:24:56.780-05:002020-05-09T20:24:56.780-05:00Amen Jake.

I guess you really do belong elsewhere, in a church full of hotheads and freethinkers perhaps. Maybe speaking in tongues would suit, since good English carefully considered obviously bores you.
