Fr. Alexander Antchoutine of Holy Virgin Protection parish in Glen Cove, New York, gave an excellent interview for the ROCOR Fund for Assistance. Priests in the Russian diaspora have a special cross to bear, because in addition to their many priestly duties most of them also have to work lay jobs, and are heavily scrutinized by their parishioners. I recommend this article to basically everyone.
And not only the Russian Diaspora ;-)! Many OCA priests I know have to work part or full-time jobs too.
