"regarding Bubla's upcoming Orthodox baptism [how religious I am or am not will not be discussed here at this time, let's just say baptism is a Romany custom unless you're Muslim"
Are you going to have a brass band? Yeah, I'd go with the Orthodox too, though I have mixed feelings about that, too. Among other things, I couldn't reconcile myself with the fact that the Catholic Church blessed Hitler's troops as they invaded Poland. Never could figure that one out.
I do sometimes enjoy the "theatrics" of Orthodox ritual and pageant (I sometimes find that very comforting, though I can't explain why), but I guess I won't say more coz this is your blog and I don't know who else reads it....
