Like many, I am a multi-book reader. Now reading:

Victories of Orthodoxy by Constantine Cavarnos...very short, a collection of homilies, including apendices on the calendar inovation and against ecumenism from Mt. Athos

The Way of A Pilgrim and The Pilgrim Continues His Way

The Orthodox Church in the History of Russia by Dimitry Pospielovsky

Hymns on Paradise by St. Ephrem the Syrian

And making notes as I go, through The Orthodox Church in the History of Russia, for further reading.....so many books, so little time!

In the Risen Christ,

Vicki
