We were not silent. The mainstream media just didn’t bother reporting the protests from our hierarchs to the Clinton administration, nor the objections voiced by the laity in forums like FreeRepublic.
Although my more liberal family members began to see how the mainstream media was lying to cover the Clinton Administration's mistakes, they returned to dutifully following their every word shortly after the bombing stopped.
You are right, Subdeacon! Sort of, anyway.
In our metropolitan area, Serbian and Greek Orthodox Christians (including laity, priests, and hierarchs) were quite vocal against the clinton/NATO bombing of Serbia. We had demonstrations (which were Christian vigils and memorial services followed by marches, and sometimes by concerts) every Saturday afternoon during the war. The demonstrations drew hundreds of people.
However, the other Orthodox jurisdictions were pretty silent. The Albanian Orthodox churches even supported the war, just like muslims. And—of course—the media covered our demonstrations very little.
I am now an Orthodox Christian who is a member of an OCA parish, and also attends as Serbian parish once a month. (I am almost a member of both parishes.) The OCA in our area is still pretty weak on Orthodox Brotherhood (in terms of supporting other Orthodox who are menaced by the New World Order and/or islam), while the Serbs of course are very strong on it.
I am glad to read this article by an OCA Priest, who supports Kosovo Serbs and other persecuted Christians, and who upholds moral issues in the public square.
