Orthodoxy

So today I was waiting for the bus with Isobel when a woman asked me for directions.  And as happens so frequently here we started chatting.  When I told her that we are in Romania as missionaries with the Baptist church she gave me her insider's perspective on Romanian Orthodoxy. " Romanians are very, very Orthodox.  We are deeply religious, going to church almost daily," she told me. "That is why God has allowed us to be so poor, because we have faith and we have hope."
