I Have Resigned the Holy Priesthood

Post by Anastasios »

On Tuesday, April 3/16, 2013, the Holy Synod of the Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christians of America heard my petition to resign the Holy Priesthood for personal reasons, and accepted it. I have been returned to the lay state. I realize this will come as a surprise to many of you, but it was not a decision taken lightly or quickly. I remain a member of the Orthodox Church, under my diocesan bishop, His Eminence Metropolitan Pavlos. Please keep me in your prayers.

Dear Anastasios,

Of course, you will remain in my prayers.

You have done so much good as you encouraged me to join the True Orthodox Church.
For this, I am eternally grateful.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

What a surprise, indeed.

Well we wish you the best no matter what and hope that you will have lots of time for your family and all good projects.
Such as this Cafe, and I bet some other computer work.
