Hello and Welcome!!

This is the first of a series of musings set up about myself about Spiritual Life in General and how Orthodox Christianity seeks to address the situations of life.
Just to introduce myself my name is Paul and I am a Reader within the Russian Orthodox Church, in particular the Diocese of Sourozh which covers Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland. The parish I function in is that of St Aidan and St Chad in Nottingham, as well as the Eucharistic Community of St paulinus of York in Newark. Both Nottingham aand Newark are in the Midlands county of Nottinghamshire, most famous for Robin Hood, but if you like your food, Stilton Cheese is the local cheese and Melton Mowbray Pork Pies come from the just down the road in the neighbouring county of Leicestershire.
The plan is to explore Orthodox Christianity, something I have been doing for twelve years, seeing where it differs from other expressions of the Faith, what those different understandings might be saying to us and perhaps even to see what Orthodox Christianity has to say to us in the twenty-first century.

The problem with rational and calm is that each person should respect the others point of view. Sadly in the area of Spirituality that is not always so, too many things are presented in terms of black and white. However I will try to make this an exception!!!!
Bear with me!!!!
