seems like a Greek priest in the UK, but I never heard of him personally.

I have not heard of him either, and I see a lot of priests on FB and peruse a lot of podcasts, etc.

I'm wondering why you ask about him?

Believe it, or not... Not every O'dox person, either here, or out in the wild, knows every other O'dox person. Even if they show up among on the neenernet, among the 26525394597152254 videos on youtube

Well, I've never heard of him but, speaking for myself, I love him. I am perhaps more open to "ecumenical" dialogue than he, but I appreciate his perspective. The Orthodox Church claims to be the Church, not just a lung of it or a branch. I appreciate his moral clarity, though it is true that I love almost all our clergy, so I guess I am biased.

He loses me a bit on the threat of Masons, but I know many Christians I respect greatly who take the threat of Masons seriously.

If you are speaking of Father Spyridon Bailey his books "Podvig" and "The Ancient Path" are most excellent and his YouTube channel is very challenging...that said I'm not Orthodox just a dog licking up the crumbs from the Master's table..

His videos started to show up on my YouTube feed so I began watching. He seems sincere and knowledgeable. My experience with Orthodox podcasts and online teachings, and from my own personal experience with a local Greek church, is that often they are surface level. It's all introduction and lacks depth. This fella seems to really have a graph of the basics and is able to take them to a deeper level.

Ah, if his last name is Bailey, that does ring a bell at least. I went to the FB link and don't recognize the parish at all. But Fr. Spyridon Bailey I have heard about. Though I couldn't comment in depth. I like the titles of the books - I'm thinking "Podvig" was recommended to me once, but I have not read it.

Thanks, I will try to have a look.

Apologies for the weird spellings and words. I'm responding from my phone and I suffer from fat thumbs. Lol

I read typo. I make enough of them.

(That and my auto correct is completely insane, changing common words I correctly type to uncommon ones, or even misspelled ones!)

Whenever I visit the US inevitably someone asks, "do you know so and so from Toronto? Or maybe it's Manitoba?" Or something along those lines. At least my question was about a youtuber and author. lol

Lol, I get that sometimes when people find I have lived in Texas, maybe, or California. Funny how people sometimes think that way. It's very common.

I get why you asked the question. And if it IS Fr. Spyridon Bailey, you got at least two of us who had heard of him.

I love Fr. Spyridon's videos. He also wrote a travel journal about his trip to Mount Athos:
