Just a layman, I am a young man interested in Orthodoxy insofar as it encounters a culture as a whole.  To that end, my main points of interest are the variety of cultural manifestations of Eastern & Oriental Orthodoxy, as well as some very mild interest in how American converts have adjusted their lives to fall in line with the culture of their parish or the Church at large.
