Blogger, freelance editor, and regular gal-in-the-pews Lynnette Horner hosts Walking an Ancient Path: Living and Learning Orthodox Christianity. Episodes will explore the joys and struggles of prayer and worship, sacraments and everyday ascetic practices, and the cultural adjustments on the journey into Orthodoxy (whether taking first steps or traveling deeper into the Faith).
