We need more of a presence in the US, period.
We would also need a great deal more pan-Orthodox administrative unity. The Greeks have Holy Cross/Hellenic College, but they, like usual, emphasize being Greek at the expense of being Orthodox. We have too much of this "it's not my jurisdiction so it doesn't exist" mentality. Abbot Tryphon's monastery is surrounded by almost a dozen parishes, but only the ROCOR and Oriental Orthodox send their people there. The Greeks send theirs to St Anthony's in Arizona and almost half the OCA sends theirs to St John's in Manton.We need more of a presence in the US, period.

Well, considering that the GOARCH even syphoned money meant for St Nicholas at Ground Zero over to the Phanar can we really be surprised?As for HCHC, they are in DEEP financial trouble and could lose its accreditation
It’s been nearly a month since Father Matt last harassed me to get seminary education. I’m keeping a record.
The only millionaire Orthodox are typically Greeks and their own college, HCHC, is likely going to lose its accreditation. There's a few random celebrities here and there like Tom Hanks or Troy Palumalu, but good luck get them behind it.Maybe some Eastern Orthodox millionaire / millionaires can get together with some of the OCA Clergy and Bishops and start an Undergraduate Orthodox Theology College in the future.
Preferably on the west coast or midwest.
Honestly, if I had the money I would just ask for the blessing from The Bishops / Patriarchs to start one.

I'm biding my time
Like Batman training with Ra's Al Ghul with the League of Shadows, Father Matt ambushes me with education guilt out of nowhere in a puff of smoke clerical ninja style!
