The young guard do seem to be very orthodox (we have kinda aligned ourselves with them - even though we're old and creaky.)
I've heard of Holy Transfiguration, but have never attended Divine Liturgy there. It looks like a wonderful church!
It's a pre-fab steel building. Doesn't look like much on the outside, but they've sure made it work on the inside. I've been out there for vespers a few times, and Divine Liturgy twice. They make a visitor feel welcome.
LOL! But you know, we keep our nuns locked up in monasteries where they can cause little or no trouble. :)
No comment...it would get me in too much trouble.....
"I've been out there for vespers a few times, and Divine Liturgy twice. They make a visitor feel welcome."
I suspect that they have a Presanctified Liturgy on Wednesday nights and an Akathist to the Most Holy Theotokos on Friday nights during Great Lent. Both of these devotions are well worth attending, being quite ancient and beautiful, and I would encourage you to check them out since you are nearby.
Thanks for the tip, I may just stop by!
They're apparently having a presanctified Liturgy on Monday nights, as well. The schedule is on their website.
Keep that visitor list low key. :-)
You will eventually. Don't ignore our own feet of clay, cause we have them.

The article is somewhat dated (early 90s I think). So you can subsitute names I am sure. Mahoney for Weakland etc...
Dear jecIIny,
There is still plenty of cleaning up to be done, but even Cardinal Mahoney is getting on in years.
Thirty years ago, then-Bishop Mahoney was the vanguard of a younger generation of bishops (and priests) that was not always altogether orthodox.
Now, he is a 70 year old man. For all the real damage he has done, and though he is still powerful, he has not had quite the lasting effect on the Church that perhaps he desired. Why? For one thing, as a not-so orthodox bishop, he hasn't ordained many priests to take his place. The Archdiocese of Washington - with about 1/8 the Catholics as Los Angeles - ordains about twice or three times as many men most years as the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
The priests being ordained today are often significantly more orthodox than of the previous generation or two. And from that cadre of priests, the next few generations of bishops will be selected.

Though I'd love to see my Anglican brothers and sisters swim the Tiber, I would rather see them become Orthodox than stay in ECUSA.
