On another note...I was bummed out earlier tonight, when I found out who conducted the Holy Qurbana service at Mar Yosip here in San Jose last Sunday morning, which I did not attend, but was thinking about going. I found out after coming across some photos and videos taken that day on Qasha Genard's facebook page... I am still learning about his life and ministry in The Church of the East and would have loved to have been there.

Shlama Akhi Chuck,
Yes, I did hear that Mar Dinkha stopped in California to visit on his way back from Australia. He does travel frequently, so I'm sure you'll have many opportunities with him in the future. I've been told that he does speak English eloquently, although I've not personally heard it. Your first impressions will likely be of a graceful, humble and Christ-centered soul. Being that the Patriarchate is still in exile, I was lucky enough to have been ordained by him here in Chicago (I should post some video clips.)
Have a great evening...
+Shamasha
