I am mesmerized by the Byzantine chanting and the Byzantine musical notation, which many, including music professionals, are unaware of. I haven't felt more human than being among Orthodox brothers and sisters, who are our extended family. I feel a lot more at home at the Church than at my temporary earthly residence. I can always call my priest and share all things that trouble me, ask for a blessing for something that I'm planning to do, and a prayer when we're in trouble. There's no pressure to tithe, bring more people to Church, and other things, turning the Church of God into a cult, an exclusive club, or an MLM scheme. When I look for a Church management system, I found only Protestant versions, which focus on attendance and tithe tracking with weird add-ons such as facial recognition, contacting people who haven't donated recently, and many other things you can never see in an Orthodox Church.
