Yes the pilgrimage to Athos from the London parish was around a month ago. The Birmingham priest also organises an annual pilgrimage to the Holy Land although given the war (which incidentally started in the middle of last year's pilgrimage) there is nothing planned for this year. I'll try to remember to post details in advance in this group.

(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)
Читать полностью…Tbh I can’t find a website talking anything the monastery in question
Читать полностью…Better off just looking which bishop they’re under
Читать полностью…Just some weird group that larps as orthodox.
Читать полностью…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.

Читать полностью…Athos is difficult to organise so that probably won’t be happening. Better off just organising yourself a solo pilgrimage there

When are we organizing a UK/Ireland pilgrimage to Mount Athos or Mount Sinai?
Читать полностью…It’s one of the monasteries elder Ephraim started
Читать полностью…I'd write off any Ukrainian grouping in the US if I were you
Читать полностью…The most I can find is a yelp page, saying it’s uoc-kp
Читать полностью…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
Читать полностью…FYI the canonical Ukrainian Church under Metropolitan Onuphry has no parishes in America
Читать полностью…And obviously not part of any other jurisdiction
Читать полностью…I came across that, just u wasn’t sure exactly how they were related to Eastern Orthodoxy
