This could affect me personally, since I would not be able to commune in my nearby Greek Orthodox parish (under the Ecumenical Patriarchate, whether they like it or not). I am a member of an OCA parish. If I change to Serbian Orthodox, that still won’t help!
Many Orthodox Christians in North America would be adversely affected. Lord have mercy!!
The optimist in me keeps hoping that the so called Assembly of Bishops will all get together and politely but firmly tell the mother churches that all cash remittances from North America will stop until they grow up and start acting like Christian adults. The realist however, notes that more than half of all the Orthodox in the US are Greeks, with Russians and other Slavs making up maybe half the remainder. So I’m not holding my breath.
