Does anyone have any information about what happened to Father Daniel Byantoro of the Indonesian Orthodox Church, release from ROCOR?
It seems he has joined the Genuine Orthodox Christians of Greece.

I think somewhere in the forum it has been said firsly he left the Ecumenical Patriarchate for ROCOR. And this paper says that he left ROCOR in order to join Greek Old Calendarist. But I have no idea what is the story behind all of this.

Yes, he did start with the Greeks. I saw him years ago at a lecture and he was quite interesting. I do get concerned when I see priests shift from jurisdictions, especially if one keeps shifting to more conservative and often more exclusive churches. It rarely ends well. Having said that, it would be good if someone had some insights to his reasons to shift. The above noted article mentioned concerns over the politics between Constantinople and Moscow, but there as to be more to this.

I miss his discussions. I had one on tape, at one time.

I've found by accident his channel on Youtube - he is very active there, but it's not in English so no idea what's going on:

They seem to just give general old calendarist info on their website, I don't see much about them specifically...
