Divine liturgy duration?
Hello! I am a young, single Protestant woman intrigued by Eastern Orthodox Christianity. I have read about the changes introduced to western Christianity by Augustine of Hippo, and I read a few books by Kallistos Ware just before his passing. Less than a year ago, I moved to a new location, and I am currently only about 5 minutes from a Greek Orthodox congregation. I have live-streamed the divine liturgy a few times, and I think they're beautiful, but they last over 3 hours! I have a sensitivity to noise that makes it impossible for me to bear such a duration of noise. Is there a way I can get involved or even consider conversion if I can't even make it to a full divine liturgy?
