Sergianism and politeness.

So Theophan, does this mean that you are finally going to answer the question I have been asking all these months?

Where is this "True church" you all keep talking about? Where do I go to find it? What City? What building?

Katya

Dear Katya,

I had not come across you asking that question.

Check out the map featured on this site which covers the True Orthodox parishes in the United States.

I hope to God that question was not asked in sarcasm and I ask your forgiveness for initially sensing a condescending tone within it.

Theophan.

Thank you, Theophan, for pointing me in the direction of the map, but you did not answer my question.

You and others say that ROCOR is not a "TRUE" Orthodox Church... and you point me to a site that has so many various jurisdictions, who don't get along and are not in communion with each other.

So again I ask where is this TRUE ORTHODOX CHURCH that you and, Cyprian and Mr C and all the rest of the various groups are touting. Which version of all these "CHURCHES" is the TRUE church? Yours? or someone else's?

A simple question and for some strange no one wants to give me a straight answer. Perhaps it is because, none of you are sure of it either.

Though I believe that all those Churches on the Map have Grace.

Thank you, Theophan, but I must disagree....

Dear Katya,

Do you consider all the Churches on that Map to be Graceless? If you dont want to answer that question I can understand why.

Theophan.

[Ekaterina]

Haven't a clue about whether they are "graceless", although I have my thoughts on that, but Theophan, you are pointing me to a Greek group. I live in NY and let me tell ya the Greeks are even more fractured than some of the break away pieces from ROCOR. I tend to avoid them cause it's iffy any way you look at it.

Thats funny because 95% of greek groups are schisms from rocor
