Regarding your post where you suggest using “Brother”. All Orthodox monks, except rank novices, are always addressed as “Father”. Amongst themselves they may at times use “Brother”.

Dear Mr. Canarvon,
Thanks for the note.
I got the ‘Brother” form from the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America office on 79th Street in New York (they publish a book every year on what is what and who is who in their church and it included a section on forms of address) …. and then I confirmed the forms with other such offices around the US.
But I am more of a reseacher … and am not Orthodox. So,I will check it out.
You are the first one to note that … an I am always open to improving my info!
