Juvenaly,

I hope that if Archbishop Gregory is in Bulgaria, it is for
rest and relaxation, taking a break, anything......other
than not talking to someone about forming another
jurisdiction here in the U.S. Did it say what he was doing
in Bulgaria? I am serious about this obedience issue.
If he is constrainted to the Skete, I hope his Bulgarian
trip was before all this recent news.

Also, this is never funny, and frankly it isn't funny, but
something that should be sincerely prayed about and
discussed, but not with the intent of throwing stones, but
of retaining unity - if at all possible.

Saddened to hear all this and my sincere sympathies to
those of the ROAC, especially in Colorado!

Rd. Chrysostomos

Read Gregory's biography. And imagine that it took Metropolitan Valentine only 5 WEEKS from the time he made Gregory Archbishop to kick him out. Gregory is not about UNITY. He is about POWER and EGO.

Chrysostomos,

I ynderstnad what you are saying about unity ad I am not sure wether the trip was before the Ukase came out. I do know that there are a few ROAC parishes in Bulgaria that are under the Synod as they are outside of Abp. Grefory's jurisdiction of Denver and Colorado. What the meeting/visit was for i am unsure, but I pray as you do that it was not with the intent of gaining allegiances outside the Synod.

Well upon the rturn of the Metropolitan to Russia there will be decisions made and a Sobor called. Upon its completion we will have the resolution of the Synod. Unil then we pray for unity amd for oneness of mind with our holy Synod.

If this is not the intentions of Abp. Gregory then we will see this, however, I can only pray for mercy on my part that I have not caused scandal with this topic of conversation.

The order was indeed written before it was known that they were in Bulgaria.

Thank you Joe. That was what I had thought I had been told, but did not want to answer without the full truth.
