Re: Avlona Synod deposes Bishop Seraphim Karam

That's quite a story and completely foreign to my experience.

Re: Avlona Synod deposes Bishop Seraphim Karam

There are so many questions ! To which Synod did Bishop Seraphim transfer ? If it is known yet. Was this hierarch ever based in Sarov ? Or this was only a title bestowed upon him like many Greek synods do ? I am glad the Russian ones don't have that practice, for it leads to unnecessary confusion. ...

New Blog - Outreach Oriented

After realizing that many of my writings and other materials are scattered across the internet in various places, I decided to try to collect them together in one place, a blog. Since my current assignment is serving a small mission in the middle of the evangelical Bible belt, many of the articles m...

Re: The Desperate Days of the 2016 False Council

Fr Irineos, the EP has spoken out in favor of abortion ?? Just once quietly ? Or a few personages have stated things which showed tacit acceptance of that evil practice ? Or worse still ? Read this shocking statement: http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/firstthoughts/2009/10/a-not-so-pro-life-patriarch

Re: The Desperate Days of the 2016 False Council

Moscow is trending liberal as well. Simply look at Kirill's recent meeting with the pope which a genuine Orthodox Patriarch would not have done, and then the two heretics issued a heretical joint-declaration together. The EP and the MP are birds of a feather, flocking together. Neither are Orthodox...

Re: The Desperate Days of the 2016 False Council

Thank you, Father, for the very shrewd analysis. I learned a lot plus put pieces together that I had known about separately, such as the fact that EP might shift its headquarters to New York. Is there any scouting around for real estate, by the way ? Have you heard of advance parties checking the l...

Re: The Desperate Days of the 2016 False Council

Fr Irineos, How do you see this proceeding ? Will the OCA petition for transfer to the EP from the MP - ?! Would the MP ever let go of the OCA ? And WHY is the OCA more comfortable with the EP ? Barbara, Remember, the OCA received "autocephaly" from the MP. The MP and the churches in its ...
