During his whirlwind three-week tour, Father John at St. Vladimir’s. not only taught an intensive course in Patristics at SAC but also spoke to more than 1,300 people in ten parishes. Crowds eagerly heard him, and he warmly responded to their questions. Since Father John’s visit coincided with our holidays, my husband, Abe (another St. Vlad’s alumnus), and I were able to attend his talks and absorb his fresh, relevant theological perspectives. Best of all, my whole extended family was able to spend personal time with him, as we introduced him to breathtaking landscapes of Australia. We climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge, rode bikes in the desert around Uluru, walked through the Daintree rainforest, and explored The Great Barrier Reef—outdoor adventures accompanied by unforgettable conversations! During one supper, my father insisted, without warning—as dads tend to do—that we all give a speech about what we enjoyed most about Father John’s visit. I shared how I loved being captivated during Father John’s talks, which renewed and generated within me an overwhelming sense of gratitude for having been a student at St. Vladimir’s. Father John returned to New York, my kids returned to school, and I returned to work. But the effects of Father John’s visit, instead of fading, caused wonderful memories to well up within me and to overflow into my marriage, my relationship with my children, and my parish life—reigniting and reconnecting me with the very powerful memory of my life in Christ, which was most strong during my time at St. Vladimir’s. These personal memories continue to connect me to Holy Tradition, to the apostolic fathers, to Christ and his Church.

Establish a rule, and stick with it My wife, Tamara, and I were drawn to St. Vladimir’s Seminary because we wanted to learn about our newly found faith together. But, to make ends meet, we knew we’d both have to work part-time while she earned an Master of Arts degree and I earned an Master of Divinity degree. Fully cognizant of our “unorthodox” approach to gaining our Orthodox education, I nervously sat in the office of the Dean of Students, Father Paul Lazor, rehearsing my explanation, but not anticipating his blessing. After hearing my plea, Father Paul, in his inflected tenor voice, responded, “Justin, I would like to ask you how you plan to balance chapel, classes, and seminary life in general, with employment?” After an interminable awkward pause, and after my admitting my “worldly” anxiety over our being able to pay for our education and put food on the table, Father Paul’s eyes lit up, as he sensed a pastoral solution that has nourished me (and my flock) to this day. “Take the jobs, Justin,” he said. “I cannot expect you and Tamara to be at every chapel service, nor at every seminary function, but I do ask one thing: don’t ever let your feelings determine when you come to church or how you participate in seminary life. “Rather,” he continued, “when you both receive your weekly work schedules, go over them carefully. Decide right then and there, prayerfully, at the start of each week, which of our weekly dozen chapel services you can attend. Commit yourself. Pace yourself. Establish a rule, and stick with it.” Establish a rule and stick with it. That discipline has shaped me now for over a decade, and I’ve also been able to apply it to the hectic lives of my parishioners. “I can’t expect you to attend every church function, nor every church service,” I say to my parishioners, as I watch them juggle crazy employment schedules and children’s activities, care for family members, and try to put food on the table and pay the mortgage. “But I do ask one thing: prayerfully establish a rule and stick with it!” And you know what? Just as Tamara and I—under the ever- 40% watchful eye of Father Paul—were actually able to make chapel of our alumni, and prayer time a priority as we learned about our Orthodox both clergy and laity, faith together at St. Vladimir’s, my parishioners—under my are serving the shepherd’s crook—are able to manifest their faithfulness to Orthodox Church God’s kingdom here in the Kentucky Bluegrass. in America Priest Justin Patterson M.DIV. ’05 Father Justin Patterson, leading his growing flock Rector of St. Athanasius Orthodox Church, in in Bluegrass country [photo: Mary Cook] Nicholasville, Kentucky (Orthodox Church in America) 13 14 Struggling with the Complex St. Vladimir’s Seminary provided the foundation that President, or boss—multiple tasks will overwhelm us. allowed me to overcome the myriad of challenges I We need instead to be motivated by the desire to please have faced as an Orthodox priest.
