Tristan Tate

I mean, that's just his name.

And it was a very cool experience.

It was, you know, there was guitars on stage and drums and everyone was up clapping their hands and stuff.

I went with two friends of mine who I'd met on the airplane over here, actually.

And it was very interesting seeing this, like, nouveau American-style church service.

But when you go to an Orthodox service, every Sunday I go to – I don't actually go to a church.

I go to a monastery every Sunday where they hold a service there.

And you look around, and if you take the cell phones away and maybe the modern clothing, you're looking at a Christian service that's been conducted the same way since way before the United States was even a country.

So it's kind of like a time machine, you know, and you have all the paintings of the various saints on the wall.

You know, it's something that you don't get in America, I think, with this nouveau form of Christianity.

But, you know, I'm glad it's thriving here nonetheless.

But there is this deep feeling of history when you go into these buildings that are one and a half thousand, two thousand years old.

Yeah.

and you see people conducting services in the exact same way that the first Christians did.

Yeah, it touches your heart.

Well, I try to save it as a conversation that hopefully we can have when we're older.

I feel like as a, he's my older brother, by the way.

So he's a year and a half older than me.

He's approaching 40 years old.

I don't feel it's my place to police him and his children and his family about what he personally believes.
