Orthodox chanting Appalachian style

As someone from up in NEGA, I totally relate when it comes to leaving a protestant background. While my area is more kudzu than mountain, I used to go up to the mountains a lot when I was younger and so I know what you're talking about with the culture.

If I can add one more thing to this, I think the biggest misconception about Appalachia in my experience is that people there are somehow "dumb." In reality, while like everywhere else there is a spectrum, there are some very smart people that live in the Appalachians that simply don't have the same resources that someone in, say, Atlanta might have.

And hey, I'm gonna be praying for you. I encourage you to go to that Antiochian church. Welcome!
