Don't like to incentivize drama, but I believe Fr Damick called Jay Dyer an incel a couple of years ago (when he was not married yet).Can anyone tell me what exactly is going on between Fr Damick and Dyer?
I've learned a great deal from both and I find the quarrel disconcerting.
Thanks.

Just don't let it get to you, that is something they have to solve by themselves.

Is Fr. Damick part of AFR? Because they argument might be that a priest or monk was excluded from Ancient Faith because of "politics" yet they have allowed people who support liberal causes such as feminism or homosexuality.Oh goodness, yes, thank you. I didn't know if it was a theological dispute or personal. I heard the accusation of 'ecumenist' bantered about by Jay's folks.
Uh with Googling haven't figured it out, but Dyer is something of a Frank Shaeffer Junior type extremist as far as Orthodox people go if push comes to shove error on the side of Fr. Damick and other folks. (There is lot of stuff about the problems of converts not really changing their phronema / mindset from what they had in the past after they convert and they bring all their old baggage along with them etc.)
Isn't Damick a convert as well?

This video of Dyer's (from almost three years ago, formerly unlisted/private until several days ago) goes through all the root causes of the current "quarrel". While on the surface it seems to be about the alleged cancellation of Fr. Tryphon by Ancient Faith Radio and a perception Fr. Damick (Chief Content Officer of AFR) and others have of certain types of internet Orthodox personalities, it ultimately comes down to the contentious war between tradition and modernity playing out in so many spheres of our lives. There's been quite a lot of discussion on this front in this forum on other threads, with others here also noticing a certain tendency AFR has to harbour or facilitate content creators with views of a more liberal stripe (as pointed out in Dyer's video as well as this previously posted webpage).
As Not David has said, don't pay too much attention to this sort of drama. The online Orthodox world is a place one needs to navigate carefully, especially if one is an inquirer or catechumen and lacks the experience helpful in discerning these sorts of things. As long as you make contact with a parish and a priest in real life and do the reading you are (or inevitably will do), you'll be just fine.
Better to avoid gztBest to avoid Dyer.
OK I got a question.. Are the liberals of Ancient Faith Radio so far gone as to call this Kallistos Ware article (against the Ordination of Woman as priests) misogynistic? (I've always really loved that article and its presentation of Economy of Religion)
Or are they reacting to some of the extra ordinary manliness of Russian culture etc. ? Or is it something else like friction over American sociopolitical stuff?
Man, Woman and the Priesthood of Christ
The best place to keep up with this is on the RooshVForums because it’s now an Orthodox forum if you’re into this type drama. I find it to be largely irrelevant, although it is disappointing that Fr. Damick lowered himself to take unwarranted cheap shots on a third party’s platform.
It was inflamed again when Abbot Tryphon’s blog was censured by AFR, because the Abbot’s subject matter leaned a little too traditional (and therefore conservative).
