Honestly, I don’t know what to make of OCL these days. They seem to have an identity crisis. In my opinion they seem unwilling to tackle serious moral issues with any clarity. I get no real sense of direction from them and this press release makes me wonder if they posed any tough question to +Demetrios at all. One of their more visible members was chief of staff to Senator Sarbanes so this makes me wonder what their model for American Orthodox leadership really is.
BTW, OCL leaders, you should have given that money to the Archbishop with the express condition that it be used to defer the cost of broadcasting the proceedings to all America on the internet. Now that would have been leadership! Instead the money is probably going to cover pay per view movies and room service at the the hotel where the bishops are staying.
