But on Tuesday afternoon, I went out with Jehlu, Pastor Radu Cifor's son-in-law, for a tour of the city of Cluj, in northern Romania. Well, being the history buff that I am, it didn't take me long to decide that I wanted to tour some of the old churches there. So, we went and visited two of the oldest churches in town. And I do have to say that the ...
