    Is there a church canon somewhere that forbids adults from serving as bishops?

    The Tsilis brothers (Nektarios of HK and Constantine of Singapore) are strange. They require Catholics to be received into Orthodoxy by baptism and consider the presence of the Moscow and Antiochian Patriarchates in SE Asia to be illegal and treat their priests as heterodox. One wonders why Constantinople threw them all the way here. Asia is the world's next frontier so this is not a wise move.

    Can't blame the Russians (Moscow Patriarchate and ROCOR) and Antiochians for being in SE Asia. The Constantinople Patriarchate is no good at missionary work, after initially receiving congregations in Indonesia and the Philippines about 2 decades ago. There is stagnation in its missions. No wonder that much of the Indonesia mission of the Constantinople Patriarch went to ROCOR.

    The title of the Patriarch of Antioch is Patriarch of Antioch and all the East. If anyone has a right to be there the Antiochians do.

    The Bishop speaks very well and from the heart. The letter he mentions from the MP Bishop in Edmonton states that the priest shall serve under the EP bishop. That is all in order.
