20 Jun 2024 21:59

UK & Ireland Orthodox

20 Jun 2024 21:58

But yes just check out the bishop

It's probably Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA which is under the Ecumenical Patriarch, who took over the Ukranian diaspora parishes when autocephaly was declared

20 Jun 2024 21:57

All the acronyms are confusing

UK & Ireland Orthodox

20 Jun 2024 21:54

Doesn’t seem like the uoc-kp

UK & Ireland Orthodox

20 Jun 2024 21:51

FYI the canonical Ukrainian Church under Metropolitan Onuphry has no parishes in America

20 Jun 2024 21:48

And obviously not part of any other jurisdiction

UK & Ireland Orthodox

20 Jun 2024 21:47

20 Jun 2024 22:01

Should be plenty of good options in Texas

20 Jun 2024 22:01

(Not that I was trying to find a monastery to go to, just monks were mentioned so I kinda got curious to see what the closest monasteries were)

UK & Ireland Orthodox

20 Jun 2024 21:59

Tbh I can’t find a website talking anything the monastery in question

UK & Ireland Orthodox

20 Jun 2024 21:58

That was one of the conditions

UK & Ireland Orthodox

20 Jun 2024 21:57

Gets messy to keep track of

UK & Ireland Orthodox

20 Jun 2024 21:56

Better off just looking which bishop they’re under

UK & Ireland Orthodox

20 Jun 2024 21:52

Ahh, would that be uoc-kp?

UK & Ireland Orthodox

20 Jun 2024 21:48

Just some weird group that larps as orthodox.

UK & Ireland Orthodox

20 Jun 2024 21:48

Well if it’s not oca there’s nothing else it could be that is close to what they’re saying they are. There’s no such thing as an American Orthodox Church.

UK & Ireland Orthodox

20 Jun 2024 21:47

If you want a solid monastery in Texas just make the trip to holy archangels, since it was founded by a saint
