Photos - Mother Efrosyne's Visit to the US

During Lent and Pascha 2010, Mother Efrosyne, Abbess of the New Stjenik Monastery (GOC) located in the Kučaj Mountains of Southern Serbia, visited the United States, seeking both to strengthen spiritual ties with the GOC in America and to obtain material support for her growing monastery, which requires some improvements owing to their difficult situation there. She made stops in various places, and visited both our parishes, and some parishes of the Russian True Orthodox Church.

Ask A Priest

Is the GOC Insular?

Q. In considering becoming part of the GOC in America, I am getting warnings from various circles that the attitude of GOC people is that of being “walled off,” “arrogant,” “judgmental,” and “in your face” toward those not in the Genuine Orthodox Church, with accusations such as “World Orthodox” priests are “not even Christians” and the like.
