I think Matt is talking about Fr. Nathan Monk. He talked about this about 2-3 years ago, but I haven't heard of anything solid of he and his parish becoming Orthodox via the Antiochian Orthodox Church. He and his parish are Old Catholics.

Small world... I've been friends with Nathan for 9-10 years now.

I don't remember his name or even how I stumbled on him, but that sounds right Dot.

Do you mean Fr. Nathan Monk and his parish? I haven't heard of that happening yet, but I haven't followed him or his parish in a couple years.

Sent him a text, I'll let you know... Last I heard he was still taking classes through the AOCA's St. Stephen's program and they were taking things one step at a time; full reception of the parish en masse being the goal.

Father George Maloney, SJ. The only bio I could find was his Obit from 2005. He was a Jesuit in the Byzantine rite, I believe. Near his death he became a priest in the Carpatho-russian church. I will let you read his interesting bio, if interested. He has written many books. I have read a few in the early 80's. Inward Stillness being one. I think I am going to check out some of his books again, now that I think about it.

I remember Fr Seraphim Rose bringing him up in his lecture on the Orthodox World view, about a Jesuit priest who wrote a lot about hesychasm and the Jesus Prayer. glad he came home.

and another guy I can think of, returning to the OP, is Fr David Kirk, who was an Eastern Rite priest who became Orthodox toward the end of his life. he set up the Emmaus House in Harlem to help folks coming out of prison and the homeless get back on their feet.

I can now happily report that Fr. Nathan Monk was received into and ordained a priest of the Orthodox Church by Bishop Jerome of Manhattan, ROCOR, on 24 October. May God grant him many years.

I've only been Orthodox since 2005 but I have met probably a dozen priests who converted from the Roman Church.
