Shocking way Serbia changed this American forever

Video Description

This is Basil. He’s an American who came to Serbia two and a half years ago. Back in the US, he converted to Orthodox Christianity, and in Serbia he is about to begin studying at the Faculty of Orthodox Theology at the University of Belgrade to become a priest. He shared how he found true freedom in Serbia, how he manages to combine Orthodoxy with his love for techno, and what is the main difference between Serbs and Westerners. Enjoy!
