Related to the question of attendance at my parish and the OCA in general:
I find that there are developing(or perhaps have always been?) two OCA's. The jurisdiction seems to be polarized on many issues. If you go to St.Tikhon's monastery/seminary it's like ROCOR. If you go to many OCA parishes in the West, they are also like ROCOR. Some of the OCA's bishops are very close to having a oneness of mind with some in ROCOR. Bishop Tikhon of the OCA was just today writing about how ridiculous ecumenism is and basically praising Metr.Philaret. There appear to be two OCAs emerging. Maybe when I move I'll have the chance of attending a parish having more of a mind like the "other" OCA.

I would be interested to here more. The OCA that I attend here in the midwest can be characterized as being more traditional in mindset. I don't think they would ever invite someone like her to speak at the church. You are in the northeast? People in that part of the country tend to be more liberal than other areas of the country.

The same GOA seminary that has seminarians in the single digits and gives tests to make sure that they are modernists and ecumenists? :thwack:

I did not know this. No wonder why the number of seminarians is in single digits.

I am greatly heartened by the interview given by Father Hopko. I thought he defended the faith very well. I guess the new calendarists are necessarily the bad guys after all Seriously, I glad to see that Hopko truly understands what is at stake here.
