Mr. Edwards,
Such a wealth of literature in the early church is in Greek, so much of 
which remains untranslated into English, that I have found that I simply 
must learn Greek in order to comprehend much of what it is that comprises 
being an Orthodox Christian (um, also to keep up in the Liturgy!).  Though 
it will take time and effort, it will be quite well worth it.  Along with 
an already "fair" grasp of Latin, I am excited by the reading that I will 
be able to do in the near future.

By the way, b-greek list, in keeping with the above, I am beginning with 
Mastronarde's Introduction to Attic Greek.  Comments?
