But this group of which Daniel Garguillio is an Archbishop is not
Orthodox. If you read their websites they are focused on the gay
dollar and get income from conducting gay weddings and same-sex
ceremonies.
This is a far cry from genuine Orthodoxy, You might remember a few
years ago that a gay couple in Russia paid a priest handsomely to
celebrate a wedding for them. The priest was defrocked within a
matter of a month or two and the church was bulldozed.
***I understand what you are saying. But, my vagante Orthodox web page
contains churches that use "Orthodox" in their names, many of which purport
to be following "true" Orthodoxy.
