I’ve been Orthodox for 20 years and I’ve heard the same words on unity for 20 years and I’ve heard the same pious statements about how important it is to bring the Church to America. For 20 years all that has happened is that the Greeks have gotten Greekier, the Slavs more Slavic,etc and almost no voices have been raised against the continuing moral, cultural and spiritual disintegration of this country. Many have just joined the rush to annihilation.
The bishops play dress up in photo opps, the priests do not seem to look past their own parishes and what monastics do we really have? We lay folk, well we just lie there.
It is not enough to say we all have to get together. It will take genuine pastoral and Apostolic leadership. If God has someone in mind, I wish he’d let us all know.
