ROCOR does recieve by Mysteries of Initation as far as i know, my Spiritual Father is ROCOR. Are there any Jerusalem Patriarchate Parishes in the US?
All the Historical Mainstream Orthodox Jurisdictions, are in the WCC even the Russian Orthodox Church, so even though I dont agree with Ecumenism, There is no Hideing from it, so I am going to join a
Church were im most confortable, and spiritualy nurished which is the most important, so it will either be The Antiochian Orthodox or Greek Orthodox Church.
Orgianlly I was baptized in a Protestant Church and Chrismated in the Byzantine Catholic Church.
