Saint Elias Orthodox Church

I believe this was the church I stayed at when I was evacuated from Pollock Pines during the devastating Caldor fire. The minister let me fill water in my RV tank, he let me plug into electric and let me stay the night. I'm still grateful after these years. My house survived. I survived.

Absolutely beautiful. Stumbled across this church and was in awe not only with the beauty of the church but with the people who welcomed me with open arms. Some thing that I am not used to being from San Francisco I look forward to making this my home church. I can’t wait for next Sunday to go back I have lived in Pollock Pines for four months and have not gone to church once except for yesterday and it felt so good to be home surrounded by such beautiful, friendly and welcoming people. Thank you Father Philip.

Wow, I haven't been to this church, but I've listened online to the "men in black" speaker series that was held at this church and the talk #6 was Fr Henry Patrick Reardon (I found him on yourube and he's a really good theologian). I'm not sure if this is his parish or not. If you're used to Western theology and lacking in Eastern theology, you will gain a lot from the Eastern perspective.
