What jurisdiction are you a part of?

[Orthodox Andrew]

If you're not an offcial member of one. Just choose the jurisdiction of the Church you attend.

 

[MaRiNa_Orthodox]

Privet!

Sorry what is jurisdiction?

 

[Moros]

Been at St. Herman's Monastery for the past 2 weeks, which is Serbian. Will probably be joining OCA shortly, though if I had a choice I would definetly go with Serbian.

 

[Orthodox Andrew]

Well, if you were a Priest in the Serbian Orthdox Church, than you would be under the Serbian jurisdiction. Or if you were a Monk in the Russian Orthodox Church, than you would be directly under the Patriarch of Moscow.

I hope this makes sense.

I would like to be Serbian or Russian Orthodox. But I will probably go with the OCA. Or maybe even stick with the Greek.

I much prefer the Old-Calendar.

 

[Constantine]

I am in the Greek Orthodox Church.

OCA, however I am offended that there is no choice for Oblio's Geek Orthodox Archdiocese? Was it no Geek Orthodox in 19th C Russia? I think no! Is outrage! :crosself:

 

[Nikolas222]

Go Greece!

OCA

What if your parish is a part of more than one jurisdiction? Mine is in the OCA and Macedonian (there used to be a plaque that said Bulgarian diocese, but I don't see it anymore, now it says Macedonian). There are a lot of Macedonians that attend there.

 

[Michael G]

The Romanians, Bulgarians and Macedonians in this country are part of the OCA, arent they? Archbishop Kyrill is OCA bishop of Pittsburgh (GO STEELERS!) and Bulgarian Bishop of Toledo (GO ROCKETS!).

Jerusalem. So other.

I think you're right.

Stone....Jerusalem? Is that a jurisdiction?

 

[Reader Nilus]

I always joke with my priest, that the Jerusalem patriarchate has set up shop here with no valid reasons, so I think the Finnish Orthodox should have a jurisdiction here as well.

OCA- The only jurisdiction in America to have "America" in its name.

Every few months or so I visit a Jerusalem Patriarchate Church. It's a wonderful experience!

[katherine2001]

My mission is in the OCA.

 

[ExOrienteLux]

Well, this is an interesting poll, isn't it? I go to an OCA church when I'm home, but I go to an Antiochian parish at school. I'll probably be chrismated in the Antiochian parish, because I know the priest there really well, though I prefer the Old Calendar. However, like I've said before, to me, the important thing is praxis.

I think that this is a good place to quote St. Herman (I think he's the one who said it). When he was asked his jurisdiction, he responded "My jurisdiction is Christ."
