From the AOI blog a list of predictions on the Church many years in the future. Here's a snippet of the discussion. For a list of his predictions, do go to the article.
Back in 2008, Fr. John Peck penned the essay “The Orthodox Church of Tomorrow,” a bold and somewhat audacious prediction of the future of the American Orthodox Church in the next decade and beyond.

This is especially evident in the Orthodox Church in America (OCA) where the election of Met. Jonah, a moral traditionalist, has brought the hidden sympathy and accommodation towards homosexual ideology into sharper relief. It's an issue that won't go away soon and one that other jurisdictions will eventually face, especially the Greek Orthodox Church (GOA)...
