I just want to remind the audience in the room that EVERY sound you make is picked up by the camera's microphone. The rustling of papers, the scraping of containers, etc.
I didn’t understand what was meant by conforming to the teachings of the Church when there seems to be such disparity between jurisdictions. Does it mean if one doesn’t feel aligned with the jurisdiction that they are in they should find one that does fit better?
He probably means to conform to the teachings in his jurisdiction, but I imagine he would encourage us to use discernment through prayer and education to make the best decision you can according to your situation
I wouldn’t worry too much about jurisdictions. Rather, find a good spiritual father you trust. You can find excellent spiritual fathers in GOARCH, and ROCOR. But you can find Priests and Bishops saying and doing very strange things in GOARCH, and ROCOR.. personally, from my own experience, the Ephramite monasteries are excellent, and not concerned with politics but salvation, and get mocked for being “too strict” when, in reality, they’re helping peoples souls immensely.
If we church hop to find teachings that align with out personal views, we are not conforming. It is better to stay with a church you find challenging than to find and easier path.
