Is Emigration Forbidden or Permissible?
Question
Is emigration forbidden or permissible?
Answer
Emigration is not forbidden. However, it must first be ensured that the person who will emigrate is going to a country where he can live a sound spiritual life, find an Orthodox Church and an Orthodox priest, and be able to partake of the Church Sacraments.
But to emigrate to a country where he cannot worship God properly would expose him to the risk of losing his relationship with God, unless he will travel from time to time to a country where there is a church…
Nevertheless, this situation is unstable…
And what about raising his children religiously in the bosom of the Church?!
