Steve Robinson said...: Joel, A parish is basically a congregation that is part of a diocese, or in other words under a particular bishop of a geographic area. The parish life conference is an American phenom, an annual meeting of all the parishes of a diocese that clergy are required to attend and lay leadership and "common laity" are encouraged to attend. They are usually quite elaborate and expensive and there's a lot of politicking, fundraising and glad-handing and not a little bit of partying that goes on along with some Church services and "spiritual activities".; 9:47 PM
Ikonophile said...: So that's why most OCA parishes run in the red and their priest's don't make anything, requiring them to have one (or even two) part-time jobs. Now it makes sense!

Thanks for the heads up, if I choose to be a priest, I'm definitely going to Holy Cross.
