Seraphim's Confession of Faith, namely: h) I confess that the local Church of Greece remained complete and perfect between the years 1924-1935 despite the fact She was left without bishops in the same period. http://media.wix.com/ugd/9060ee_7f65e85537d74f3c8f...

Re: Is World Orthodoxy graceless? Why become True Orthodox?

The right question is: "Is world orthodoxy the church".If so, or if not, the conclusions are quicly made ragrading the question of grace. On the grounds of "One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church" and "One Lord, one faith, one Baptism" alone I am certain they can be el...

Re: On the Kiss of Peace during the Divine Liturgy

I recently visited all the World Orthodox parishes in my area for Divine Liturgy when I was considering overlooking their issues for the time being (Greek Archdiocese, Antiochian, OCA, ROCOR). Only the Antiochian parish had everyone exchange the Kiss of Peace with a handshake before the Creed, and I...

Re: Outrageous housing cost only rises in SF Bay Area

I passed on a job out there just because I couldn't afford to move out there. Honestly though, I'm not sure it's worse to hire the immigrants here for less, or just move the work out to India or China period, where salaries are a small fraction of what they are here.
