I did use some code I'd written based on the flutterby code for a while, but then I wanted to add some features and, instead, just switched to livejournal's server code. (I'm in the process of adding email ids so that you'll be able to post un-screened comments after verifying your email.)
There's little exposure in the southern US to Orthodoxy.May I suggest
OrthoDixie for insight into the southern Orthodox convert? He's a relatively conservative (politically) Orthodox priest.
However, I've found a lot more Orthodox along the East and West coast. They don't seem to have the fervor of the southern evangelical.
I do want to address the "psychology of the believer", but don't have time ATM.
