Welcome to The Orthodox Leader

The purpose of this blog is a simple one: to provide a forum to discuss many of the leadership challenges facing the clergy and faithful of the Orthodox Church, particularly (but not always exclusively) in North America. I am a married priest in the Orthodox Church in America as well as a software developer in the private sector. The content here reflects my own interests and opinions, which are, hopefully, informed by Orthodox Christian piety and belief. I will earnestly seek to scandalize only those who need to be scandalized.

Comments and discussion are encouraged, although because being a leader means being responsible, participants must register and use their real names. Libelous or anonymous/pseudonymous comments are subject to deletion.

Now, on to the discussion!
