American Parish left ROCOR-A and join to ROAC

Post by Priest Siluan »

The American Diocese Welcomes the Parish of
Saint John of Shanghai & San Francisco in Brooklyn, NY

On the weekend of Palm Sunday the parish of Saint John of Shanghai & San Francisco was received into the ROAC. Vladyka Andrei served the Divine Liturgy with Father Serguei on Saturday with about 40 parishoners attending. Sunday, the Church had about 120 parishoners attend Divine Liturgy and celebrate their reception into ROAC as well as Palm Sunday. May God bless their efforts and love for one another!

Has anyone seen the pictures from this parish? There are some very questionable images on this site, namely the Roman Catholic statuary both in front of and behind the iconostasis. This priest was received into the ROAC by Bishop ANDREI and yet it would seem that this is actually either a Roman Catholic Church or an Eastern Catholic Church, Desfinitely not an Orthodox one. I will post images for those that are unsure what to think.

I think we might want to send emails to Bishop ANDREI and ask some very necessary questions.

The reason is that Father Sergy serves in a Roman Catholic church building (St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church) and his parish assists there. (Maybe why the Roman Catholic lend their church building to the St John of Shanghai Russian Orthodox Parish)

On the Parish Website may be read: "Церковь расположена на Manhattan Beach на пересечении Oriental Blvd. и Ocean Ave., в здании католической Церкви St. Margaret Mary (подъезд автобусами В1 и В49, oстановка Ocean Ave.)" (http://www.rusvera.com/)

Father Sergy Serzhanov comes to ROAC from ROCOR, he is a graduate from Jordanville Seminary and he was ordered in ROCOR.

No true Orthodox priest would serve on an altar and church with heretical images and idols.
