Hieromonk Elia Rejected by the ROAC, Officially

[PFC Nektarios]

So then why doesnt he join ROCOR under Metropolitan Laurus?
Also why does he say you have to be in communion with the Jerusalem
Patriarchate to be Orthodox, then applie to a juris that doenst recognize this see. I take it that he believes the "World" Orthodox Churches are Orthodox then.

About the Islam god, saying that is kinda Roman Catholic thinking.

Nicholas wrote: Unfortunately we do not all always live up to the expectations set before us. However, I would tend to think that the Saint Basil site is not full of polemics, but spiritually profitable articles. Some border on polemic in order to define what and why ROAC is, but the rest is not polemical by design.

Fr. George?

We have a very thorough researcher who takes his time on projects, leaving no stone unturned, so to speak. It has long been our desire to present substantial essays on Orthodox Dogmatics, Theology, etc. but it takes time.

God grant you patience Justin.

I apologize for being so rash... Sometimes my curiosity makes me do and say foolish (ie. unnecessary) things. I pray that He will

I asked some ROCiE clergy and according to them he is not in ROCiE. They said to check their website for updates if he were to petition of be accepted.
