EXPOSING ABP GREGORY III (Continued)

DOCUMENTS ATTATCHED TO SUB DEACON NATHNANIEL'S "REQUEST FOR AN ECCLESIASTICAL COURT, July 11, 2005."

[NOTE - The canons cited were researched and affixed by Mother Mariam of Holy Apostles Convent, and Sub Deacon Jerjis Alajaji.]

[NOTE - 5 days after Abp Gregory received my Accusations against novice Lazarus Keithly, the Abp 'tonsured' novice Lazarus to the 'Great Schema.' Lazarus rejoined Dormition Skete in November, 2004. Lazarus Keithley originally joined Dormition Skete in 1996, but had fled to the Moscow Patriarchate in 1999, in pursuit of marriage with a Russian woman.]

July 11, 2005 - To the GOCA Ecclesiastical Court:

I begin by stating that Novice Lazarus Keithley was a very eager participant and ally with Fr. Peter in pursuing and procuring my, (Sub Deacon Nathaniel), Arrest, Incarceration, and Pending Conviction on 6/25/05.

9 CHARGES AGAINST Brother Lazarus Keithly:

Charge #8 - Brother Lazarus Keithly joined in as an eager participant and ally with Fr. Peter Wheeler, when Fr. Peter called in the Police, not to enforce an innocuous charge, but to enact and enforce what is only the Abp's prerogative, namely:
The Guardianship of the Church and Her sacred altar, (Leviticus 22:10; Numbers 1:47,51; 3:10; Ezekiel 44:7-14), through exercising the excommunication, (viz. stripping me of my black as a "Thief," and removing me from Church property as a "Trespasser"], of myself, I who have faithfully served said Church for 1 and 1/2 years. THIS IS THE MOST SERIOUS CHARGE OF ALL AND DEMANDS Brother Lazarus Keithly PERMANENT IMPEDIMENT. 6/25/05

Nathaniel ! What is it that you seek?

Post by spyridon »

By posting so many accusations at a couple of people has lead me to
ask a simple question.
What do you wish the outcome will be from all these accusations????
Alot of people have made there minds along time ago about Gregory..
Which is why all comunication was broken with Gregory,sure one can say i Have Broken Communion with everyone,the fact remains that they all Broke communication with him long before those words were written and made public ,and this was done simply by refusing to answer letters,phone calls,etc...The truth is the Truth and doesnt give anybody the right to drag people into it on the way.. make your own web blog, or site and include all material you feel substantial to plead your case and then offer this website with info to people interested and afflicted by the accusations..other wise as Americans say " you are just peeing in the wind,and 9 times out of 10 the wind changes direction" and we know what happens then,Right?............

Dear Spyridon,

Deacon Nikolai contacted me and invited me to post re: Gregory, on his Euphrosynes cafe' I have great respect for Deacon Nikolai, and have now continued my friendship with him, began when I was in ROAC/Valentine. We are in continual contact.

As for Paradosis, I spoke with Serafim Patteson both through e mail and phone and discussed this same question and decided to proceed under specific guidlines conforming to a Christian spirit.

I simply want OC Traditionalists to know. Period. If this offends you, and you must resort to crude 'unchristian' language, that is your problem. I will not respond to any more of your 'sermons'

Cordially,

Sbn Nathnaiel Kapner

I think this posting is very strange. Are the moderators promoting this kind of sensationalism now?

Monastics or wanna-be monastics should be focusing on prayer and spiritual enlightenment. Even if the accusations are accurate...a person who wants to be a monastic should see this as a spiritual lesson and not something that should be broadcasted as some great injustice done to him.

If there is such a problem, then I would take it to the Orthodox authorities or just leave that jurisdiction.

I find this posting very strange indeed.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. (Ps. 50)

Well Im sorry if I offended you,But to now accuse me of having un-christian language and call my posts sermons is uncalled for..My post was simply to say- you can post anything you want,but the posts you have created in my oppinoin should be left for you,your bishop and the court.in other words there kinda full of anger,resentment and should honestly be sent to those closely effected..this has nothing to do with who is who`s friend,With christ in our Midst please forgive my writing and if it offended you just let me know how I can fix what ive wronged...........in Christ SPYRIDON

Dear In Christ Spyridon,

You DID use unchristian language about 'doing something in the wind.' I will not repeat your uncouth words. This is un-called for in a Christian Forum, as it is the language of the gutter, and does not become one who calls himself an Orthodox Christian.

I was denied an Ecclesiastical Court. Please read my posting :"Abp Gregory justifies Jailing of Sbn Nathaniel." I have simply been stating the facts Spyridon. If you wish to read 'resentment and 'anger' into my stating the facts, that is your problem. I am not interested in your 'spin' on the facts presented. And if my postings offend you, who is forcing you to read them? Many have conacted me Off-List, asking for more information and offering their help. I encourage you then, to simply ignore my posts, and you will have peace of mind, and not have to resort to crass and worldly expressions.

Again I remind you, if you have a problem with the nature of my Postings, and simply cannot resist reading them, then take up your complaints with my most respected friend, Deacon Nikolai, who invited me to bring my case to the Traditionalist Forum.

Cordially,

Sub Deacon Nathaniel Kapner

These reactions are suprising. I expected compassion from Orthodox Christians. If Subdeacon Nathaniel's experiences help one person not fall in with Gregory and then his posts have meant more than we can imagine. Sure God will give him compasion, but those that strive to be His children should be the first to assist those with any need.

Now you all know for what Subdeacon Nathaniel needs prayers for, so let us all get to that. If anyone has gone through what he has, then you will know this is a very hard thing.
