Your response is myopic. Traditions with a small "t" do not an Orthodox Church make. Our common theology and Holy Tradition with a capital "T" binds us and permits full communion among all canonical Orthodox Christian Churches. Your argument is like saying that since Slavic churches use pussy willows on Palm Sunday, as a Greek Orthodox who uses palm branches they are somehow less Orthodox? The Church can adapt to cultural changes in its missions anywhere in the world and still be 100% Orthodox!
There is no difference in theology between Greek, Antiochian or Ukrainian Orthodox Christian churches folks - it's the same Church. Different styles of music and or small traditions do not mean anything - we are all of the same Communion.
I was orthodox for around ten years,i was a "reader" and also an "alter boy" for a short time as well as spent much time in monasteries in both Wa, Az,Ak and churches in MT and OR as well,i have ate with bishops and have been company to many orthodox priests families and many monks of which ive worked along side and even personally know an arch priest who serves the bishop himself..I am no longer orthodox
We are not a Greek Orthodox Church. This is a minor issue, but the facts need to be reported correctly. We love our Greek brothers & Sisters. Technically we are Antiochan Orthodox and (God willing) we can drop all these labels soon and just be "Orthodox Christians".
You are correct that there is a lot of talent in the Church, Xenia and Patrick among them.

@7567145: Well, there are differences: The Greek Church is now full with innovations and modernism. I would not call this church ORTHODOX either:
Pews, Organs, women do not cover, no prostrations etc...can hardly be called orthodox.

I am not a "fan" of the Antiochian Orthodox Church but this is beautiful - really.

Most Holy Theotokos save us+++

@KentigernMungo The official name of the Antiochian Orthodox Church is the "Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch." I'm also Antiochian Orthodox.
