Can anyone provide me with more info about them? I have heard various things, and am confused.

Thanks

In general, a disappointment...

Fr. John Whiteford of ROCOR has IMO a helpful site on the matter. For HOCNA's side, their book The Struggle Against Ecumenism would be a good place to look. The book's main topic is "The History of the True Orthodox Church of Greece from 1924 to 1994", but the book is also meant to be evidence in support of HOCNA's existence, ecclesiological beliefs, etc.

Drew at this time I would not be worried of any of those Traditional groups,for crying out Loud you live near Elder Ephraim and wont even go there to visit him, not to mention Rocor and Oca.....you say your mom wont let you attend Orthodox church, she would never let you attend Hocna....unless you dont have a license or car you could take the bus, and visit elder Ephraim....or maybe I should ask how old you are?
if you are a minor ,forgive me for the advice I gave you and seek GOD from within you,He wont let you Down..
if you are a minor ,than wait till you are of age, and always remember that God is everywhere..you can ask him in your morning and evening prayers to guide where you need to be....getting info on all these groups is useless, and its time spent at IDLE.....you must work on your inner heart ,before doing so much thinking of the future...........I just assumed you are a minor or someone lurking..because your questions are so short and the respnses are even shorter........

Dear Fr. Panagiotes,

Are you still in denial? Why did you forget to tell our seeker that there is another site to study?

Perhaps he didn't want to facilitate the spreading of gossip...
