[Darlin']

Oh, Lordy. The world has truly turned upside down when a Russian church refuses to work with the ECUSA because we're perceived as heretics, a modern day Sodom and Gommorah.

[francisr]

not sure what you mean by the world upside down - there is no "Russian church" - there is only a Russian speaking Orthodox Chrurh, undivided and unchanged froam other Orthodox Churces.
Remember, there was no protestant reformation for the Eastern Church, no disintegration into a thousand shards.
ECUSA has been on this path for a long time - reducing the New Testament to a trifold advert to be a 'good person' - if you want to.
The Orthodox Church will stand with the world anglican church of Africa and Asia, just as they stand against the ECUSA
