ROCOR were committed to cultural homogeneity & asfar as I know, even the more mainline OCA didn’t want them.

Huh, the ROCOR diocese of Chicago is putting limits on what its clergy are allowed to do online. No online ministry without a written blessing
A good call, I think

Remembering a few OCA/ROCOR men a decade ago, who grew beards (before it was fashionable) found a wife from the FSU & then were upset when they got here that they were independent thinking women & didn’t want to cosplay the men’s kink by wearing the Sarafans (Russian folk costume) bought for them

Looked at other posts on the web-log. Purple prose about the history of Orthodoxy in their backwater, somehow starting with St Catherine of Alexandria, they broke off to form a rocor parish a few years ago because of Ukraine.

And I think too that’s part of my background.
There was a rule of thumb always passed around at ROCOR Synod that you could tell someone’s background was from St Petersburg if the wife wore a dress but didn’t cover her head, from Moscow if she covered her head but wore slacks, and from the provinces

Just an historial FYI. In November 1920, many left Russia "Departing with them were the clergy who nourished them; and those archpastors and clergymen did not depart from their homeland in disarray." They formed the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia.

Other churches began participating in cultural exchanges & religious pilgrimages to Russia, and a reconciliation with the ROCOR - Russian church in exile, founded in Paris in 1917 - was finalized.
The Russian church laundered traditional authoritarianism for the kremlin, and it found friends.

He shopped around.
Nobody wanted him.
At the time, all the orthodox churches in America were ethno national churches for immigrant groups.
The OCA, which was made up of mostly Americanized Slavic Americans, was the first obvious choice. They didn’t take him.
He tried ROCOR, def no.

They already captured ROCOR, which had traditionally balanced the “Blood and Soil” approach from Moscow. Now they’re all firmly on team.
OCA & the Antiochians have been captured by evangelical nutters. Don’t expect the Orthodox Church to take any principled stand here.

There was the OCA, the Orthodox Church in America, a North America-centered assimilationist congregation that was effectively independent for the last century.
There was ROCOR, popular among recent immigrants and those with fiercely anti communist & Russian nationalist politics.

Fun fact: ROCOR, the “Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia,” founded by exiles in Paris in 1917, has reconciled with the Kremlin and re entered communion with the patriarchate of Moscow.
Until recently, there were 3 Russian orthodox churches operating in the us (!), each with different politics.

There seem to be all kinds of people among the recent converts I see in my current parish (OCA), and perhaps there is some variety among the Antiochians too. I think the Greeks parishes might be the most varied of all.
In ROCOR though, I think there is only one type…
