[Magdalen] silence?

[Grace Cangialosi]

I didn’t realize there was one there. There’s a R Orthodox Church in Waynesboro, and the priest, John Moses, is a former Methodist. He has a very clear Virginia accent, and I asked him, “How did a nice Methodist boy like you, from the Shenandoah Valley, happen to become a Russian Orthodox priest?”
His quick reply: “An upward fall!”
