Mr. Jenner. Yes. He's the motivating force, is he?
Mr. Voshinin. He's the motivating force there—and everything [laughter].
Our sympathies switched very quickly to St. Seraphim Church and I became a member of the church council there at St. Seraphim and—uh—I didn't like to be a member of St. Nicholas any more.
Mr. Jenner. Is that largely because of the aggressiveness of Mr. Bouhe?
Mr. Voshinin. And because of the irregularity of the church meeting once in 5 weeks—and many other things—and because I believe that the church in this country should be in the language of the country. I think it's natural—it's what it should be in order that our denomination can exist at all—because in two, three generations, the people lose their national language, and then there is no church. Besides that, uh—I—what did I want to say? Besides that, I don't think that's a good idea to divide Christians by their language in thousand and one churches. We have people of six or seven national backgrounds and is—it's absolutely senseless in serving the service in some other language than the language in which everybody can understand. And, therefore, we switched to the St. Seraphim Church—of which we have remained members up to now.
Mr. Jenner. Were these two parishes and the church itself—that is, the Greek Orthodox Church consisting of the two parishes—is that the medium through which in large part the emigre group, let me say—from Russia, from Yugoslavia, from——
Mr. Voshinin. Lebanon; yeah.
Mr. Jenner. Became acquainted?
Mr. Voshinin. Yes; yes. Everybody knows everybody.
