I've never seen the site before and don't like the tone in it. However, I didn't first hear this from the Orthodox woman who initially shared it in an FB group, but in an Orthodox women's FB group I am part of. I was alarmed by this and as I said the multiple spoons issue because it questions belief in God. I have many vices, but anger isn't one of them. So, my response doesn't burn or stay with me. But this issue is not helpful. I am part of the GOC, so I feel it affects me greatly. I tend to focus on my own home, so to speak, rather than others, that need work. But also, as a layperson, we should all be concerned about questionable and alarming actions from our clergy. It's what the Church has done since its inception. I don't think it causes discord with other Orthodox traditions/jurisdictions. It's a GOC problem. So, I respectfully disagree.
Having said all of that, I rarely pay much attention to this archbishop or any other one to the point of any type of simmering anger or grudges. I'm thankful I don't hold them. When I hear these things, I share my feelings on it and move on. Thanks, though, for your response and for your concern for me.
