Reply To: Welcome to Typikon 102!

Christ is Risen!

My name is Eric Ortiz, and I live with my wife and four children in Northern Virginia. We attend Holy Transfiguration in McLean, VA, where I serve as a subdeacon. Funny enough, typikon 102 will be more practical to me personally than typikon 101 since, as subdeacon, I am often at the altar during festal services, while during daily services, I am normally at the kliros. I am not a very talented chanter, but I have been assisting as I can at the Kliros for about seven years. I am very interested in developing a deeper understanding of the typikon, so if I am ever called to ministry in the church as a deacon or priest, I can ensure services are being chanted correctly and provide mentoring as needed.
