[Silouan Younger]

Hello my name is is Silouan Younger, I am a recent convert to Holy Orthodoxy (having been baptized in July of 2023)! I am living in Meridian, Idaho (where I was also born and raised) attending the parish of Holy Transfiguration under the loving care of Fr. Mark Fenn in the Antiochian Archdiocese. I began to chant during the Dormition Fast of 2023, when I was lovingly “drafted” by Fr. Mark to help him chant the paraklesis when none of the usual chanters were able to make it. Since then, I have joined my parish choir and gained a greater interest in chanting and the particulars of the church services, occasionally lending aid at a vespers service when needed. With this class, I hope to begin to expand my knowledge of the church offices both to gain a greater appreciation for the liturgical life of the Orthodox Church and to be of greater use to my growing parish!
