Leave the Antiochians and Join ROCOR? St. John and Fr. Seraphim Rose Advise Fr. Paul Baba

The young Fr. Paul wanted to join ROCOR, Fr. Seraphim Rose's Orthodox jurisdiction, and St. John Maximovitch came to Fr. Paul and showed him his path. Alongside Fr. Paul's account, an important excerpt from a letter Fr. Seraphim wrote in 1981 regarding giving Holy Communion to New Calendarists and his conviction that "we must open ourselves to all the Orthodox". 🎧 This is an excerpt from "Experiences with Fr.

Seraphim never cried for you, never prayer for you, never suffered for you, or were never concerned for you? They put up with you? And now you want to leave where you come from and have it good? Learn from their example. Go back and help them as they helped you as an Antiochian."  –St. John to Fr. Paul Baba, confirmed by Fr. Seraphim as a true visitation from St. John We, of course, are already guilty of many of the "sins" with which Fr. R castigates our Church–worst of all (I suppose), the giving of Communion to New Calendarists. I can see how each priest should be free to do as he thinks best on this question, but for us, I see that we must open ourselves to all the Orthodox [emphasis in original] who aren't being helped by their own bishops and priests. Recently we were visited by another Antiochian priest (from Los Angeles), and just the fact of our friendship is a source of strength which helps them to struggle more themselves. What the end will be, jurisdictionally speaking, I don't know. But we must have the image of the Russian Church Abroad adjusted away from the "fanatic party line," which up to now has tried to take over–and whose failure is now becoming evident.  –Fr. Seraphim Rose letter dated Nov. 22/Dec. 5, 1981 Letters from Father Seraphim, p. 227 ______ Orthodox Wisdom is dedicated to sharing the writings and lives of the Saints of the Orthodox Church.
