My Orthodox Friends: We who knew Fr. Seraphim Rose knew a man of True Orthodox Faith. He was a convert and when he became orthodox his teacher of his faith and the one he looked to for his guidence was St. John of SF and the Holy Fathers of the Church. He was a great man of prayer. Fr. Seraphim Rose lived his faith and all he wanted to do was to serve God's Holy Church. He is the one who taught me my Orthodox Faith. In fact he was my and my son's God Father. What ever he wrote is sound Orthodox teaching.
When they lived in SF he was in church everyday twice a day reading and singing. I would never question in any way his writings or his teaching or him when it comes to the faith. He never question the teaching of the Orthodox Faith.
He was a true Man of God. I know this for a fact and 1st handed. Because I knew him VERY, VERY WELL.
