 === Liturgical Practices ===
-Some claim that clerics who were former members of HOOM/CSB still practice some non-traditional forms of liturgical practices in their services. Many CSB parishes were isolated from the larger Orthodox world (as a result of the period of time spent under "Metropolitan" Pangratios), during the period of time that they were learning to serve, chant and conduct services.  As a result, trying to learn the divine services from a book without ever having seen the service in a traditional setting, led to some odd practices, most of which were a result of mis-interpreting Orthodox liturgics, rather than any former HOOM practices.  Since CSB parishes were received into canonical jurisdictions in 2000, most of the odd practices have been replaced in most places.

 Paul Blighton usually directed ministry teams to obtain properties in bad neighborhoods where charitable work was most needed.  Ironically, these neighborhoods tended to gentrify over time, raising the value of HOOM properties, far above the initial prices paid for them.  One former HOOM member quipped, "You couldn't have come up with a better real estate investment strategy if you tried." One of the primary purposes of CSB at present is to find good uses for these valuable properties.  Some have become monasteries or sketes, others have been given to Orthodox parishes, and still others have become administrative or diocesan centers.
