AOANA and OCA are done. The Orthodox experiment in the Americas is over. 30 years ago before entering the Orthodox Church (OCA) from Rome, I was told Orthodoxy was not like the 'denominations' of Protestantism or have the 'problems' of Catholicism. The Bishop and his minions LIED to me! It's even worse than that. I have seen both jurisdictions deteriorate. The Antiochians I always expected as they were nothing more than Eastern Rite Episcopalians led by their 'Presiding Bishop' Philip. What a joke!

"The World is trying the experiment of attempting to form a civilized but non-Christian mentality. The experiment will fail; but we must be very patient in awaiting its collapse; meanwhile redeeming the time: so that the Faith may be preserved alive through the dark ages before us; to renew and rebuild civilization, and save the World from suicide."
