Thanks very much.
Sorry for my confusion. Is SCOBA the only choice in the U.S. as far as teaching, churches and missions?
"Is SCOBA the only choice in the U.S. as far as teaching, churches and missions?"
The quick answer is no. ROCOR, though not a part of SCOBA, is excellent for everything you listed. In general the Russian sites are great ones, but sometimes you'll run across some writings, from the 19th century mostly but there are some going back to the 16th, that are particularly Westernized and thus questionable. The Russians are also big on "catechisms". I haven't see one that's any good, no matter who wrote it.At any rate, whatever questions there may have been about ROCOR's canonicity will be resolved with the reunion with the MP in the next month or so. I think its a great jurisdiction myself.
