Like Schultz, I'm listening to Metropolitan JONAH's remarks from yesterday. I can imagine this had a strong influence on the voting.
I'm privileged to know him a little bit, having been to St. John's Monastery a few times while he was abbot. As others have said here, a very worthy man for this very difficult job.
Many Years!

The OCA is indeed being led by a worthy man now.
I agree! Here is part of an email fom my foster son who knows him persoanlly - ========== I think, overall, a good choice. The man has actually BEEN a monk and LIVED in a monastery vs the vast majority of the North American hierarchs. He is young and energetic. From what I understand he actually lived with the homeless people in a shelter and is very modest. I assume that he will have great allegience to Arbp Dmitri of Dallas, as he is singularly responsible for his elevation to the episcopacy. I like the fact that he has lived in Russia and has had a chance to get exposed to Orthodox ethos. ============ Maybe we have another St Photius the Great in the making! Orthodoc |

Yes, everyone I know who wanted his grace Job was torn, because while he would be an outstanding candidate, they didn't want to wish the job on him. Many years in his greatly earned retirement (earned in the sense that he deserves a rest from the good fight). |

Many years in his greatly earned retirement (earned in the sense that he deserves a rest from the good fight). That, and it seems pretty clear to me that Bishop Job, at his age, would be little more than a short-term placeholder while Syosset grooms a younger candidate to be elected in just a few years. It's good that the AAC decided to select a relatively young bishop for the office now, someone who'll be able to rudder the ship for many years to come. |
