Washington Orthodox Clergy Association
Getting to this meeting was easier than I thought, but the Google map direction made it seem difficult.I took MARC train into Washington DC and then the subway. Following Google map to go from the subway to the bus can be an adventure, especially if your bus is due. The distance is only a block, but the instructions do not seem to indicate that.I took the local bus to the church. The bus stop was just a few feet pass the entrance to the church, but the driver had no idea despite the big sign saying "Romanian Festival."
The community meets in temporary quarters, but they did a great job of making it look like a church. I knew that I was in a church the moment I stepped in the door.
We had a history lesson and update on the situation in Lebanon. We also talked about the state of Orthodox on two of the local Catholic universities, namely Catholic and Georgetown.
Of course the food was great. It was worth the trip just for the food.
