@Eabrown012194 @AmericanAir This “please meet us in the DMs” thing is gaslighting. They tried that with me and basically said — with tons of waiting around by me — that there’s nothing they can do differently than any other customer service person reading off a script. And, as you say, you already drove.:(

@OrthodoxHistory There were very real problems with the seminary system in pre-Revolutionary Russia. We don't have an example -- from that era! -- of anything that "could" have been better, either. Knowing Latin was expected of learned gentlemen all over the world, at that time, of course...

[C. K. Sokolov, Ed.D. @cksokolov]

@AmericanAir In case anyone is curious, @AmericanAir continued to mis-step (with its agents not being clear on their policies, offering solutions, and then being "not allowed" to process) and eventually they were not able to resolve anything. But they "certainly understand" my frustration...

I've been seeing the X posts recently about @AmericanAir not doing a good job with customer service and have been surprised as an Exec Plat because I've never had problems; but they just messed up flights purchased by the government for me really badly for difficult flights. :(

@AmericanAir OK, done, thank you.

SALT LAKE CITY, UT — The Diocese of the West of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA) has announced that it is seeking candidates for two missionary roles to support the launch of a new Orthodox mission in the greater Salt Lake City area, expected to begin in late summer or early fall 2026.

@JG46359792 @AngloVarangian 3 year degree. Not sure where you are getting 6.

[C. K. Sokolov, Ed.D. @cksokolov]

@AngloVarangian @FrLillie So how’s that a priest shortage issue? Sounds like a salary shortage issue. Supply and demand is an appropriate dynamic.

@adevarat_iacob @OrthodoxHistory @SaintTikhons @midwestdiocese Incorrect. I speak as the director since 2010 of the OCA DVP.

@tradcath4life @AML_579 @FChristopher77 It’s always fine to sprinkle. See the Didache and any other book on this topic.

[C. K. Sokolov, Ed.D. @cksokolov]

@tradcath4life @FChristopher77 Yes. Sprinkling is very clearly valid especially in such a case.

@UnseenPathways We can’t evaluate this anecdote without knowing whether the joke was funny….

[C. K. Sokolov, Ed.D. @cksokolov]

@OrthodoxReflec1 Lay catechists are a great help. This has nothing at all to do with replacing priests. Helping and supporting and teaching basics, answering questions, and being very clear about when to refer to priests. I’ve taught this course for two years. It is very faithful.

@DeaconGregK I have no personal interest in this, but the headline is a little misleading-the article says he resigned the RC diaconate; so he's an excommunicated former deacon who had left the RC church, right?

[C. K. Sokolov, Ed.D. @cksokolov]

@anicholasr @syd_bee3 It is, he was invited with the blessing of His Grace, Bishop Anthony.

@Onizukagem @OrthodoxHistory I’m a child of converts (from late 70’s) and stayed in the Church.

[C. K. Sokolov, Ed.D. @cksokolov]

@EricaJSandberg I have at least two "almost homeless" (overstaying a welcome on an acquaintance' couch etc.) acquaitances and I can't think of any decent services to refer to.. any ideas? Drug free etc. There must be something with all of the money we spend on services?

[C. K. Sokolov, Ed.D. @cksokolov]

@SFGate Very sad! Our Polk street location always busy and great staff.

[C. K. Sokolov, Ed.D. @cksokolov]

@EricaJSandberg @bett_yu I don’t understand how they weren’t caught. I saw them after the attack taking up all of Polk St going South at Vallejo…. Very visible (dramatic, even) and not going super fast.

@jaredef His predecessor did the same thing at the same parish every year.
