If that is the case then I could better understand how something like this could happen. Barring any excuse however, this would then have been a perfect time to teach the children about the royal vestments, their importance, symbolism, and seriousness, and not make them into fodder for something &qu...

The OCA can sure get twisted in a knot when some money goes missing, but when the faith goes missing it seems it is all the better for them. I just cannot believe the vestments on this "priest". These are the Royal vestments of Christ? How could anyone say the priestly prayers while puttin...
