Re: Discussion and criticism of GOC-K & SiR Union
ROAC did not anathematize Cyprianism in the sense that you mean. The ROAC synod simply pointed out that Cyprianism is simply another form of ecumenism, and therefore falls under the anathema against ecumenism, specifically the part that says, "and who do not distinguish the priesthood and myste...

Re: Discussion and criticism of GOC-K & SiR Union
As many people have already pointed out, Cyprianism was not, in the final analysis, a "new" heresy. It is simply a subtle ecumenism. It follows the logic of ecumenism ("You and I worship the same God"), only it applies it to the ecumenists themselves. That Metropolitan Cyprian wa...

Re: Discussion and criticism of GOC-K & SiR Union
As many people have already said here and there (Father Nilos, Ephrem, myself), the situation lacks clarity and needs to be clarified. So doubts and questions are normal; but it is not intellectualy fair to transform a doubt in an assertion like some are doing. For instance, I posted the scan of th...

The appeal actually does not propose that the two Synods merge into a single group, only that they more officially recognize and cooperate with one another.
