It looks like Name-Worshipping has moved forward in Rocor-Mp's Eastern Diocese.
From selling one of the highly questionable books by elder Sophrony at the Park Ave. Synod bookstore, now 3 years later, the Jordanville Graduation speaker - on Sunday, May 29, 2016 - was actually a ' spiritual son ' of the quasi-elder.
There seems to be no embarrassment at quoting for the whole Orthodox world to see this OCA Professor's advice to the audience :
"The focus of the Commencement Ceremonies was the keynote address, delivered by Dr. Christopher Veniamin, Professor of Patristics at St. Tikhon’s Orthodox Theological Seminary in South Canaan, PA and a spiritual child of late Elder Sophrony (Sakharov) of St. John the Baptist Monastery in Essex, UK. In his engaging talk, Dr. Veniamin stressed the need for future pastors to persist in their discipline of prayer, calling upon the name of God, building a foundation for becoming true theologians."
