Hyping your jurisdiction is the most American Orthodox Church thing that you can do right now. 🇺🇸☦️😎
I’m kinda an Antiochian Orthodox supremacist
When I was down in SF several years ago, I confessed at the new cathedral on the vigil of the Entrance of the Theotokos. The priest spoke very little English, at least this was my understanding. He listened—God knows how much he understood of my lack of simplicity. The wild thing…
Before I became Orthodox, I contacted the ROCOR church in Denver and they also told me to go to the OCA church because the priest couldn’t speak English well. I waited until I came back to China and ended up under the MP.
Some people don't know this, but I'm kinda an OCA supremacist. ☦️😱
Come to the OCA, we don't do that shite here. ☦️

Glory be to God. Metropolitan Saba had been an amazing blessing to Antioch. I never told you all what happened. So I left Antioch for ROCOR. After a few months the Priest literally told me I needed to leave his church and go submit to an OCA priest because I was not Russian…

I can't go to the Holy Orthodoxy parish up the road because it's an ethnic enclave that refuses to do services in English. I shouldn't be expected to learn a foreign language just to be Orthodox, that completely goes against the Church, and the legacy of the Russian missionaries
I’m a proud 🇺🇸 American. I love my nation and its founding stock, and their children. (Some of my best friends are WASPs). I also appreciate and sympathize with the black experience (Their Eyes Were Watching God). I also understand the white immigrant experience, I understand…
You mean the founders who were obsessed with satanic Enlightenment philosophy and Freemasonry? American identity is as hollow as the ideals its founded upon. It does not conform to any traditionally understood definition of nationhood.
