Church in New York (( Find a church to attend + Meeting the Faithfull

New York has a lot of churches, and I had to find the best one to attend. With the aid of Julia I learned there is a Russian Orthodox Church in Brooklyn of the right kind that I can attend (Session 2). It has a diverse crowd of Russian refugees and I think I will fit in nicely there! (Session 7)

I didn't have money for the church (Session 10). Easter was hard and exhausting but I managed to get the money together to make a proper donation (Session 14)

Oxana Vasileva arranged a date for me with Evgeni Grigoriy, believing I was in dire need of a marriage. She's not entirely wrong, but she doesn't know about the various 'conditions' that sort of prevents any of that (Session 19). The date eventually happened, and that was all we'll say of it (Session 20)

I first heard of Reverend Jonah when I arrived in New York, but I only finally met him - and discovered he is true and good in a divine way - much later. He asked for my help but I was too afraid to donate my blood... I am so ashamed... (Session 24)

A reminder of God

A priest in Alexandra spoke about how there may be references to Kindred in the Bible. I'm not sure what to think of that... (Session 60) While visiting Mount Sinai, I felt the fear of God in my bones. Then people asked for my blessing. I am not living up to what I should be... (Session 61) Back in New York I celebrated Pokrov and bought an icon of the Theotokos for Prince Michaella. She seemed to appreciate it, and wants to talk about faith at some point in the future (Session 64).

Check in on Reverend Jonah

The Prince asked me to check in on Reverend Jonah. I went to visit and heard strange noises and the Reverend said he didn't need my help... (Session 69). I reported my findings but maybe I can find out more (Session 71). I checked in with the Reverend again with the aid of Markus - turns out there is a werewolf there. I informed the Prince of course (Session 73)!

Church Incident

Marcus came to visit and we talked about various topics amongst them religion. He seems to have some doubts and worries. At church, he lied to the priest though about his history which was oddly disturbing. What's going on?

After church, there was a loud banging like gunshots and I panicked a bit. Marcus was there and he just left me, though luckily, Oxana was able to take care of me. She saw me cry blood though, and once I was home she asked about it despite my pleading she wouldn't. I was forced to clear her memory a bit to preserve the masquerade and feel rather guilty now... (Session 133)

In the chaos, I almost forgot about Richard the driver. He was apparently hurt, so I sent some flowers! Also, Lindsey wants to talk to some of the people at church so I invited her to come next Sunday (Session 134). Lindsey arranged a headscarf (Session 138) and joined me, and I made some introductions of her (Session 139)

Tamara and I went shopping for an Easter gown. At church I got some bad news (Session 140). I had no black gown anymore so I had to borrow one from Carol, though I hid the real reason under Good Friday... Finally we celebrated the Lord's Resurrection though, and I am now in the mood for something more colourful and seasonal (Session 141).
