Hello

Basil

Hello everyone, I live in Texas and am a convert from Anglicanism to (Greek) Orthodoxy.  I have been lurking around Tasbeha for a while reading some of your threads and have found it very insightful and helpful.  I have had some exposure to Coptic Orthodoxy through a friend who brought me to St. Moses Abbey (south of San Antonio) for a day.  Anyway, just wanted to say "hello."

Mabsoota,

Love the name! Thank you for the warm welcome. The few times I've been in Coptic communities I've been overwhelmed by the hospitality and kindness.
