  1. Four visits seems like a lot. Is there such a big Orthodox population in South Korea?

  2. David, the guy you are responding to posted a single off-handed comment, and you post a huge wall of text in response. I appreciate the info about the Korean Metropolis, and the holy men who are it’s hierarchs and presbyters, but an entire essay (with a somewhat anti-ROC agenda implied) is a bit much. Yours in Christ, James

  3. my phone restructured my response - please forgive - what i mean't to say s that after the war - WW2 - both Japan and Korea were under the OCA. For many years the Russian presence in Asia was very visible -- so in look at what Constantinople is doing is interloping on territory that others opened up to Eastern Orthodoxy -- or am I incorrect? Should all of Asia not be under the Autonomous Church of Japan???

    1. "Should all of Asia not be under the Autonomous Church of Japan???" No. Why should they be? In fact that would probably be a disastrous arrangement.
