I'm affiliated with a mainstream jurisdiction that I believe to be corrupt. It would be easy to just attend another parish. However, at least one hierarch and numerous clergy have gone out of their way to blackball some of us so that communing at other churches is nearly impossible.
I know the actions of people do not change the Orthodox Faith or who God is, but I'm having a very difficult time remaining prayerful and patient through it all.
Any encouraging words out there? Thanks.
ps - Please don't ask which jurisdiction, as I wish not to bad mouth anyone.
