About me
| Headline: | Hi, I'm Chris and I am Orthodox |
| About me: | Hi, my name is Christopher (Chris), I'm 32yrs old and I belong to the Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch (Antiochian Orthodox Church). I was baptized a Roman Catholic and was brought up in the traditional Catholic Faith and was involved in the SSPX for a while. I was an altar server in the Latin mass when I was around 8-13yrs old. This was when I met a SSPX priest, Fr. Shane Johnson and I helped serve with him. My parents took me to visit an Orthodox Church in Dunedin, New Zealand when I was young. All that changed when I moved to Brisbane by myself when I was 24yrs old, and I passed a Free Serbian Orthodox church and visited their church one day. I lived in Brisbane for a total of 5yrs during most of that time, I attended the sspx church in Oxley, Brisbane. I became interested in the Eastern Rite and approached an Orthodox priest in the Antiochian Orthodox Church. I discovered later on that Fr. Shane Johnson had a lot to do with the Melkite Church and is sympathetic towards the Orthodox Church and it is possible that this helped my decision to become Orthodox. I had the impression that Fr. Johnson was quite intrigued with my decision. Then, I was chrismated (became Orthodox) and started being an altar boy in their church. Then, I moved back to Dunedin, New Zealand and attended an Orthodox church there. I plan to move to Melbourne, Australia as the future of my parish remains uncertain as my Orthodox priest, Fr Ilyan has cancer. He will be having a CT scan in the near future. I am sympathetic towards the cause of the sspx but I find that I can partcipate better in worship in the Eastern Rite, also I found that there was a huge chunk of history that I never knew in the Eastern church and this was never explained to me when I was Roman Catholic. I lived in Brisbane for a total of 5yrs (from 2000 -2006) and became a naturalised Australian Citizen. I currently live in New Zealand. |
| Looking for: | I am looking for someone who is Godly and accepts me for my Faith and for who I am. :lol: I acknowledge that I may be hard pressed trying to find someone from the Traditional Catholic Faith :'(. I am not too sure what the exact rules are in the SSPX . |
