"He said that at Protestant churches, the majority of the leaders “aren’t good, strong men”, whereas the Orthodox church leaders are more like “father figures”. He said: “They look like men. They look like fathers, they’re strong, spiritually, mentally, physically... I think young men right now are yearning to follow a good father.”
With the exception of ROCOR which knowingly ordains pedophiles and sexual abusers, and which has a Sexual Abuse Policy that favors the protection of the clergy rather than the victims?
Father Seraphim, will you enlist some of those masculine men to encourage ROCOR to change their policy and to advocate for the protection of the clergy abuse victims? Apparently, some of their clergy have been allowed for years to be less than masculine fathers and anything but strong, spiritually, mentally and physically whole. ROCOR has a history of ignoring the petitions of the weak and fatherless and those who would advocate for them. Perhaps the ROCOR Hierarchy will listen to men with muscles?
No, Fr Seraphim Holland won’t because one of his family member is married into the extended Williams clan.

DeleteJesus said, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left their house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or property because of me and because of the good news, who will not receive a hundredfold now in this present time (houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and property, along with persecutions) and in the age to come—everlasting life.
But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.”
Ah nepotism at its finest
