    Just a few weeks ago I began going to my local orthodox church. Last sunday the bishop asked us and the whole community to pray for him and the metropolitan.
    Until that day, when i hears him talk in a personal level i felt something sometimes a bit off, but yet he has so much attention for others, eventhough sometimes it looks to me that he might be too harsh, but listening to what this priest said. I just can't imagine what this bishop i knew must be going through all the time...
    May God bless and take care of all christian orthodox priest, may He give them the strength they need.

    May God bless this man. Absolute honey to the ears to hear a priest stand up for truth despite the modern relativism we see. What's the point of becoming Orthodox if it's just another "flavor" of Christianity (God-forbid). I'm not a perfect man nor a saint, but I believe that my God's church is in Orthodoxy, and I'm not willing to compromise.

    No absolute “ truth “ is identified . We know that’s a great error.

      What you call "mistakes" amounted to 700,000 Orthodox Serbs being martyred by the Latin heretics under the supervision of the clergy during the WW2. And that is just one out of numerous of your "mistakes" during your alleged "live in Christ".

      If we can say that the dogmatic definition of Christ’s Natures at the Council of Chalcedon was a “misunderstanding” or “lost in translation” then why not accept the Filioque clause based on the same reasoning? Even the Non-Chalcedonian churches won’t accept the Filioque.
      The Holy Ghost proceeds from the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ has two natures, fully God & fully Man. Anything else is not Orthodox Christianity. We should baptise those wanting to be received into the Orthodox Church from non- Chalcedonian churches.

    What I noticed is that people who are against ecumenism have this distorted view of ecumenism which is based on how Protestant view the development of the Church or based on how modernists view religion.
    There are a lot of people involved in ecumenism who don't believe in this view of a Christianity with multiple branches but who are actively involved in trying to accomplish the prayer which Christ had before His passions: for all Christians to be one.
