No, Father Wilcock passed away at the age of 78 on Jan. 25, 1985.
I have seen the movie as well including listening to the director's commentary. Yes, he is mistaken in refering to Saint Andrew's as a Russian Orthodox Church. He also referred to Saint Andrew's as a "chapel" located in the basement of a building. Not true.
I attempted to e-mail the director and point out his errors in the commentary, but I am not sure if he ever recieved it since I never received a reply.
Also, the deacon depicted in the movie was the actual deacon of Saint Andrew's at the time.

A history of Saint Andrew's [rumkatkilise.org], which presently serves also as St Paul Melkite Greek-Catholic Mission, both of which are pastored by Father Archimandrite Alexei (Smith), a priest of the Eparchy of Newton of the Melkites. Many years, Neil, who is thinking that the thread is getting a bit off-topic
"One day all our ethnic traits ... will have disappeared. Time itself is seeing to this. And so we can not think of our communities as ethnic parishes, ... unless we wish to assure the death of our community."

I Yes, he is mistaken in refering to Saint Andrew's as a Russian Orthodox Church. Dear Griego, It is the custom of Russian Greek Catholics to refer to themselves as "Russian Orthodox" Nearly all the Russian Greek Catholic parishes in Russia are designated as a "Russian Orthodox Church." See http://rumkatkilise.org/shortlist.htm

My husband and I were both converts to Orthodoxy. Together we converted to Eastern Catholicism.

Dear Sister,
I think the term convert is a little to strong as if you switched from one faith to another. Maybe it would be more accurate if you said you both came into communion with the Church of Rome.
Blessings.

My journey is not yet complete (that's why I'm here, avidly consuming what all of you have so helpfully posted), and it is too long and involved for a forum post. Email me, should you be interested, or want to help. EC has not before been an option for me, but I now live in Pennsylvania, and there are two parishes and two missions in this county alone (and even more Orthodox).
