While I have a whole bunch of reasons for doing making a new site, the
main is that it's good for there to be a way for information about
ROAC goings on in America to make it to the Church at large.
Three years ago, it was precisely the choking of information that led
to the situation we are in today. For three years, few people were
even aware that most of the American territory was ruled, not by
Archbishop Gregory of Denver, but the Sobor of Bishops of the ROAC.
Without blaming anyone, the results for the Church were disastrous.
Yet we are witnessing a stunning reversal which was impossible to even
consider six months ago. Six months ago!
Yet there are still things that need to be taken care of. Clergy are
joining our Church and it's hard to keep track of who. Some of our
people, due to recent events, need our help. Our canonical and
Orthodox Metropolitan is accused of heresy and uncanonicity. We are a
huge mess. Everything is scattered.
I could think of no better place to be.

Take a look tomorrow for a response to Fr John Claypool's slanderous
attacks--the essay only needs revisions. Good night.
