Dear Symeon,

I can guve you the phone numbers of 4 priests who can vouch for the account that I have put forward. If you desire ot OM me off of the list I can give you their numbers and you can speak wi them as i have and get the events that they related to me.

these are priests who are in the East Coast and have the ability to know first hand the situation as it pertains to the "crimes" that have been perpetrated against the Metropolitan of the Church.

I dare say this, with all that has been written, why is it that these people speak of "waiting for the decison of the Synod" and yet it is evident from Father John's website that he, although at one he had petitoned and his petition was accepted by the Synod of the ROAC to be under their direction, now all of a sudden less than two weeks later his website has no claim of this, in fact to the contrary he has replaced the images of the Metropolitan with those of Bishop Gregory EVEN THOUGH his parish is still under the omophorion of the Synod of the ROAC.

Does this make sense? He petitions the Synod, then removes his petition and now is under a rogue bishop whose authority has been removed from him via an official UKAZE of the Synod of the Church. This is exactly what Bp. Gregory did regarding Father Abdrei when he put the petition in for Father Andrei to BE CONSIDERED for the Episcopacy. The Metropolitan does not alonr have the ability to raise Fathger Andreim it (the final decision) must come from the entire Synod.

It is interesting that you make the claim that he is in good stanfing with the Synod of the ROAC because from the evnts described above, it seems that either you are mistaken in thinking this, Priest John does not believve this to be true, as he has removed himself illegally from the order of the Synod to be transferred to their direction, and now two weeks later he hs revoked his petition and feels it is no longer necassary or there is another explanation which I do not see.

Hindsight is 20/20... And I am legally blind!

In Christ,
Juvenaly

Lord, Bless!

Father John's treatise is honorable; and if one thing is honorable it is loyalty in spite of scandal. For Vladyka has done nothing wrong except ruffle the feathers of weak emotive personalities who cannot bear strong words or imperfections in others, but bear many in themselves as I do. I value loyalty and see nothing in Vladyka GREGORY that would condemn him; however Valentine is another issue. Smuggling money of whatever amount is criminal. Clearly it was not Vladyka GREGORY that was in need of money from Suzdal. Vladyka GREGORY in all conscience must seperate himself from such a criminal and find a faithful true Orthodox group that can endure the litmus test of Truth. Indeed if St. Athanasius in an age of apostasy could maintain Orthodoxy, surely Vladyka GREGORY can find a way out of this debacle. I know Vladyka will find a true Orthodox Confessing Synod with God's help.

Lord, Bless!

In Christ God,

Do you know for a FACT that nothing of this kind has taken place with the authorities. A priest has said that it has, and you are basically claiming that he is making a bold-faced lie; a slanderous heinous lie.

Yeah. That would be unique in this affair, wouldn't it?
