Our Orthodox Church, Our Beloved Orthodox Church

Source: The National Herald By Nicholas Karakas In the real world, mergers are formed almost daily among small, large and even billion-dollar firms, where details, objections, and culture have to be encountered, addressed and successfully overcome. These commercial er read mergers, secular pooling of interests, to flourish, have to overcome the differences of personalities, culture, styles, and in many cases, language. I am addressing the failure of the ethnic jurisdictions to unite in America. Any faithful can see through this shameful charade. No ethnic bishop wants to change his current style of living, his comforts, authority, and power. Ditto the…

I had originally intended that this column would further explore the importance of women in the early church but will offer it in the coming weeks. What blew me off course was a recent column by a regular writer of the National Herald, Mr. Theodore Kalmoukos. His column called attention and inveighed against the bishops and metropolitans for their failure to speak up and address serious matters which could lead to the eventual demise of the Greek Orthodox Church in America. Kalmoukos called them “a scattered village with nine small archdioceses and nine little archbishops” who almost brought the church…
