Jurisdiction Help

[Matthew]

Antonios, I have sent you a PM.

God bless and guide you and your family.

Private messages are the best way to communicate any responses to your other questions about which jurisdictions to avoid in anyone's private opinion, as the private forum is restricted to practising members of True Orthodox jurisdictions.

[Priest Antonios]

That's wonderful. I certainly don't want to make waves. We just need a little help sorting through a few things.

Thanks Symeon!

How thoughtful of you, Antonios, saying that you just want to learn constructive advice but not
creat a commotion here.

Most inquirers are not as sensitive. Want to commend that, as I like to give praise when I notice something admirable

People deserve to hear GOOD things about their ideas - or themselves, for a change from general life beyond these doors.

So are we agreeing that PMs are a better route, based on what Icxpion said ?
Or if it's still all right to write on the thread here, then I will try to post my off the cuff thoughts.

[Maria]

As long as posts are constructive and not destructive, there is no problem talking about your own jurisdiction.
Talk about the parishioners, and how they radiate the faith.

Go ahead, Barbara.

[Priest Antonios]

Thank you for the kind words Barbara. I'm looking forward to hearing more from you.

I'm a clergyman. We are magnets for unintended things. I feel more comfortable using a PM. That's just me though.

Greetings dear Antonios!

It would be helpful to know where you are located, and whether or not you find it necessary to attend a church near where you presently reside, or perhaps you don't mind traveling or relocating. If location is no object, I recommend you get in contact with Met. Anthony (Gavalas) of Astoria, NY who is a member of the GOC synod in Greece, under Archbishop Nicholas.
