The simple answer to your question is no, I am not an Orthodox Christian.
OH, I was baptized and I am now a priest, but I cannot claim the title in good conscience. After all, I hardly fast, I pray little, I repent but only in a shallow way, and so on. Hardly the way anyone who claims the title would act.
Even less am I a Russian Orthodox Christian, for I only admire the Russian saints, but do little to be like them.
So, really, no, I am not an Orthodox Christian. But I aspire to the position.
