text: As an Irish-Italian American... Anyone and everyone is welcome. ;) I normally go to an OCA church, which is largely Russian cultured, but with bits of lots of other things. (Fr. Stephen likes to joke that we're "Appalachian Orthodox", as the parish is in East Tennessee with the bulk of the congregation being converts.) I'm currently attending a Carpatho-Russian church in Northern Virginia while working up here for the summer. They're a mixed bunch of Russians, Greeks, Ukrainians, Romanians, Ethiopians, Egyptian Copts, and converts.
