"And we glorify God Who has given to our people, and to all who confess our Lord Jesus Christ, for the blessing and power of the prayers of these saints whom He has glorified. May it be blessed, that they pray in the Holy Spirit, with grace and love for the people, for their prayers are powerful and full of strength. With their presence before the face of God, through their love for us, they support us, they convey our prayers to the Lord, which is a great blessing for all of us … It is a great joy, both for us and for our people, and this joy of the saints is in fact a foundation for the Church of Christ."
Fr. Stephen Freeman

I am a firm believer that Orthodox Christianity, at its best, is local. The word local may be troubling to some, but let me assure you that I do not have in mind local in the sense of congregationalism.
