Excellent idea for a thread !

Too bad that the photo of the important 1981 Council is blurry. It's hard to see which hierarchs are there besides a few obvious ones.

I didn't realize that Met Valentine was so tall, at least, compared with the other two.

Please keep posting any and all historical pics of Rocor !!!

It’s a personal initiative because of how rare it is to see pictures of Old ROCOR. Truly a gem to behold. I’d love to see people do such topics on the Bishop Matthew’s GOC and Metropolitan Chrysostomos’ GOC, a great Time Machine esque topic
