Re: Bishop Auxentios of GOC-K and Queen Elizabeth

Just a clarification:

The Windsors are not Battenbergs. The former name of the House of Windsor was Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Prince Philip is a Battenberg (changed to Mountbatten).

Re: HOTCA and Nicholas Planas

But I don't believe that any Old Calendar synod in Greece would accept Nicholas Planas as a saint, because he was always in communion with the State Church of Greece. HOCNA also venerates Elder Joseph who was a commemorator and opposed to the Old Calendarists.

Re: Discussion and criticism of GOC-K & SiR Union

The letter is addressed to the clergy and faithful of his Metropolis. So any recipient should be able to release it.

HOTCA and Nicholas Planas

On the hotca.org website there is a post about a Liturgy at their mission in Bunnell, Florida. In one of the pictures, there appears a large icon on the left wall of Nicholas Planas. Does the GOC-Kallinikos venerate him as a saint?
