ROCOR-L's Lesna Convent Votes to Join the RTOC

尼古拉前执事 · Mon 11 December 2006 6:30 pm

So far the article is only in Russian, but according to http://portal-credo.ru/site/?act=news&id=49945 the Lesna monastery of ROCOR-L voted not to unite with MP and to go to the RTOC under Archbishop Tikhon. One has to wonder if this is the begining of an exodus from the ROCOR-L now that a date for signed union with the MP has been chosen.

This new is also confirmed by different sources here in France.

Nah, the "exodus" began as a trickle two decades before the ROCOR/MP agreement, and it will continue as a trickle for the next two decades, as people search for "the true Church".

as people search for "the true Church".

In the end only to return to where they started from.

Unfortunately, though ROCOR bishops have failed to pay heed to the numerous voiced concerns of their flock (parishes and monasteries from all over the globe) and carry on regardless of the consequences.

It seems that the Lesna monastery has not already joined the RTOC :
