Yes VERY VERY interesting to get the real story on this.

Tekuci Synod ? I guess I haven't kept up enough, but is that an alternate name for the Kyrikites ?
From where does that name originate ? Doesn't look Romanian

The name comes from the town/region where they're based, in Moldavia, the "Bible Belt" of Romania. They are in communion with Kirykos, but they are an autocephalous synod (with one bishop at the moment).

Does "Bible Belt" mean Protestants ??

Thanks, that's why the unusual sounding name.

Does "Bible Belt" mean Protestants ??

Just a euphemism to indicate that it's the most religiously observant part of the country.

Since I have seen a serious lack of any Laity or Clergy from BOSVR here (From what I have seen on Searches and Active Members), I thought I would make this Forum for those who have some Questions or Inquiries on my Synod. I know a pretty good amount about it and been to Romania and had the chance to talk to multiple Priests this past Summer for the Holy Feast Day of Saint Glicherie with the help of another person who knew 6/10 Englisch. Our First Hierarch Metropolitan Evloghius also knows 4/10 Englisch and still learning, along with learning Greek, so I managed to have some time talking with his Eminence as well.

Welcome!

You're historically correct, there has not been much representation from the BOSVR here so as you can see, people have questions!

How does your synod feel about layman from other synods visiting?
