Caribbean True Orthodoxy (PR)

Post by tito »

I grew up in Puerto Rico all my life- and most Christians there are Papist or Protestant. In recent years, ecumenism, and the denominations most riddled with Prelest (Pentecostalists, Methodists, those with female pastors) have appeared more to deceive people.

At the same time, a small Orthodox presence has finally appeared on the island! That is under the Antiochians, ROCOR-MP (and now a Uniate parish!)

With all this terrible deception on these hard-working and humble people suffering from spiritual sickness and deception one must ask- when will genuine Orthodox come to the island?

I know Bishops Maximos does Apostolic work in the Caribbean, I was wondering if anyone knew more.

Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

I believe the Metropolia had work in Cuba. Not sure where that stands. As you know, not exactly a safe environment.

Father bless!
I’m aware of a GOC-K parish in Cuba and there *might* be a ROAC parish in Haiti but I’m unaware if it’s operating, maybe our moderator father Mark can give us some insight. The closest synod to the Caribbean would have to be the TOCR (True Orthodox Church in Russia) in Columbia. If anyone else knows of any other synods present in the region I’d love to know! :D

Yes, it must be terribly difficult to be genuine Orthodox in Cuba. The ROCOR-MP is Communist Cuba must have there the advantage, alongside Papists and Protestants.

What happened in Haiti with ROAC was downright tragic. I don't think anything survived.
