2 By 2: Katie Wilcoxson's Interview of Two Priests from Two Different Continents

If you have 11 minutes to indulge in something very goofy (and, in a lot of ways, very touching), this is a video of a Skype session that the parish and Church school children, of Saint John the Forerunner, where my father is the parish priest, Father Aidan Wilcoxson, did with my teammates, our parish priest, Father Spyridon Kaizilege, of Holy Apostle's parish in Bukoba, Tanzania, several of our Tanzanian friends, and myself.

Practically, though, the experiment might also prove helpful to priests and folks who work with young people throughout the world since the Saint John's parish used a (free) Skype session on their bookstore computer right after Divine Liturgy (around noon their time); as you can hear in the video, that's about 9:00PM Tanzanian time. But my team and I would love to talk with other communities in the same way, and it's a wonderful opportunity to learn about Orthodoxy around the world (and the interesting things other Orthodox Christians eat). Those who are interested in doing this can contact me at k.wilcoxson@ocmc.org.
