The creed says:
"I believe in One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church"
there is One Traditional Orthodox Church! Church with capital "C" being the body of Christ and not the stone building.
The Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia under Metropolitan Vitaly is the True Orthodox Church and I am certain of this because of the Grace of the Holy Spirit that kindles the heart of our believers in Christ.
Lord! protect us from heresies and the evil of this world until the end!

Do you believe that ROCiE is the ONLY ONE Traditional Orthodox Church?
I don't know. but I believe what Metropolitan Vitaly and my Vladika Serghy say when they say that some church is not with us and not in the right path, that some metropolitans, bishops, or priests are deceiving people. so if they reject some chuch, this chuch cannot be part of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, even if this church pretends it is with us, or says some lie like Vladika Vitaly is retired and replaced by the deceiving "metropolitan" laurus.
protestants, roman catholics and orthodox heretics and ecumenists might as well say the same.
know that Patriarch Alexy and Metropolitan Laurus are true deceivers of a new worldly chuch that is not the Church of Christ and that they persecute us up to the point that they want to steel our Church buildings. These satanists don't have the Grace of God and the devil, through them, cause us much temptations.
True, there is one Church and it is made up of the Local Churches (i.e., the Church in Russia, the Church in Greece, the Church in the Ukraine, the Church in Lithuania, et al). This is the sense that the word "Churches" is meant.
People may disagree as to which Churches make up the Church, so using "Churches" rather than "Church" helps keep things less polemical.
