Thank you for the kind comments about my book Father. I hope it's helpful for people to learn the true history between the Old Calendarist and the ROCOR.

Christ is Risen ☦️ Love fr steven allen. God bless you all 😊 ❤📖⛪️

[@TheMikeSkvor]

At about @18:30 Fr. Steven asks a great question from the perspective of our confessor saints… “Do we [the faithful] understand the gravity of our situation?” Lord have mercy.

[@T_Wozna]

Sobering.

[@andersongoncalves3387]

God have mercy! We have no idea the peril we face.

[@zenaidaoftarsus]

This is most edifying. Thank you.

Archbishop Averky of Syracuse and Holy Trinity Monastery (+ 1976) wrote an article for "Orthodox Russia" in 1975 that is titled in English as "See Then That Ye Walk Circumspectly" and is brilliant in its assessment of these times. We will each stand before the Dread Judgment Seat of Jesus Christ.

I am new to orthodoxy and i am unbaptized and have lived as a pagan my whole life. Now i desire baptism. Is the greek orthodox church or eastern orthodox cannonical but engaged in eccuminism? How so?? Has the entire church lost its grace or only the eccumanist bishops

[@Unseen_warfare.]

I made a digital copy of the book mentioned written by St. John. It’s on The Saint Euphrosynos Cafe in the documents section.

A very emotional lecture. But as the son of a spiritual child of St. Met.Philaret ( who dozens of times gave me his blessing) and knowing of fr.Stevens support of the Akakie schism, I would say that fr. Steven may be on the verge of “prelest” as w we russians would say. “the blood of martyrdom does not wash away the sin of schism”... Many people in Serbia are scandalized by this behavior.

[@Pb-nutts]

May I ask, which church are you part of?

[@Unseen_warfare.]

@@alexfedorof1567(The Serbian Church joined the members of the W.C.C. by the "back door," unnoticed, unofficially, in the following way. The General Secretary, Visser ' Hooft, went for a visit and made an offer for the Serbian Church to become a member, without any need of signing theological documents that might possibly be without dogmatic or canonical foundation. The Synod, with Patriarch German as its head, decided to join the W.C.C. This decision was accepted and ratified at the meeting of the Central Committee of the W.C.C., somewhere in Africa, in 1965. Since then, the Serbian Church, like the other local Orthodox Churches, has been a part of the W.C.C.) I believe it’s you that’s in “prelest” it’s not the ones who hold onto the Holy Traditions that are at fault for schïsm… It’s the innovators. So you are quoting The Holy Fathers out of context.

I am in the GOC since 2003

[@Calciu_83]

This is the same priest that left ROCOR in the 90s for supposed ecumenism and had a problem with ROCOR's connection with the Serbs, yet gladly he stays with Kallinikos despite entering communion with cyprianites...

[@andersongoncalves3387]

The cyprianites put away their ecclesiology and dissolved their synod. Meanwhile the Serbian Patriarchate is a member of the WCC and has a patriarch that prays in synagogues. These are not the same…

[@Calciu_83]

@andersongoncalves3387 Vladimir Moss literally asked bishop Ambrose in person if he repented of cyprianism to which he didn't answer. And you should take care of your bishop in Indonesia first, who prays with muslims and Protestants

[@jimpittos1623]

Now that I’m reading these comments and criticism. Hoping it’s not true. If it’s true, than that’s scandalous. They are blasting the synod left and right.

Which church are you part of, I am seeking safe place to go to?
