I worship in two Orthodox parishes, one OCA and the other Serbian. My OCA parish was “forced” to expand its facilities several years before I became Orthodox. More recently, my Serbian parish was “forced” to move into a new facility about five times the size of the old one!!!!
There is an LCMS parish in a neighboring town that also was “forced” to expand its facilities.
Of course, “forced” is not the right word to use.
So it goes.
What else could be expected with an ancient faith with modern relevance?
