WARNING

NOT EVERYTHING THAT

CALLS ITSELF ORTHODOX IS

TRULY ORTHODOX


The above warning was given to me when I first met Orthodoxy in 1986. Today [2009] it is even more perilous, even more difficult to find the Royal Path. For one thing there is a far greater abundance of misinformation. And many materials are missing, and other materials are being rapidly rewritten. For another thing there are fewer than ever guides remaining on the Royal Path, especially who speak English. Hopefully this website will be a place where Newcomers to the Faith can keep at least one foot on solid ground, while they are "exploring."

DISCLAIMER



Elder Philaret of Glinsk

On January 2, 1833, after Matins, as Elder Philaret ws standing on the roof of his cell, he saw a light shinging in the sky and someone's soul being borne to heaven by singing angels.  He looked at it for a long time and called to several monks.  He pointed to the unusual light and said, "That is how the souls of the righteous are carried off!  In Sarov, Fr. Serapim has just gone to his rest."  Only two of th ebrethren were vouchsfed to see the light.  Later they found out that on that very night, Fr. Seraphim ad died.
