The survey is open through Oct. 31 and is available at https://polco.us/n/res/vote/los-alamos-county-nm/public-art-in-los-alamos-county Read More

This past week I had the pleasure and great opportunity to attend an iconography workshop in Carnegie, a small suburb of Pittsburg. I stayed with my parents in West Virginia right across the state border. Adjacent to the class, I conducted a wedding ceremony in a beautiful Orthodox church in Greenville, S.C., and served a liturgy in Anderson, nearby.
