Ok - and so seeing all that has happened in the past year and some we see the fruits of this. "Abp." Gregory is no longer with the Synod and now it seems Father Dionysi has some things he needs to work out in terms of wether he wishes to do the same. End of story. "Abp." Gregory is not of ROAC, not of the Orthodox Church and not of Christ.

Let's focus on those who are in the Church, those seeking to know and join the Church. The actions of a solitairy monk in a Skete in the montains of CO has no bearing on the rest of us who are trying and struggling for salvation. These words and posts do nothing but cause more and more division and the actions of such please none but the evil one.

Let us refocus our attentions towards the Scriptures and the Services of the Church, prayer and fasting and the Life of an Orthodox Christian. Let us show works of mercy and give alms to those in need. Let us shy away from this constant talk and show the LOVE of Christ to others. If these actions do not cease then my participation in this forum will do so (along with many others it seems.)

Dear Juvenaly,

Since St Paul in his Epistle to the Ephesians admonishes us to "have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness," I applaud you my dear brother Juvenaly, for seperating yourself from the former abp gregory.

But since the chosen vessel adds to this admonition, "but rather reprove them," I would expect from you, dear Juvenaly, the selfsame of me."

You are in my prayers,

Sub Deacon Nathaniel

Reprovment is all well and good Brother Nathaniel, the problem I am facing is that of the other "little ones" that seem to be being hurt in this present situation. Those who come to this forum and are shocked by the things they see and read regarding the trash regarding Gregory and Savaas. You and I have lived through this. I was aware of Fr. Savaas' issues when we seperated by Gregory.

The problem is that there are those coming to this forum who are seeking spiritual strength and instead find dirty laundry. You have done your duty as you see it to bring this information to the attendtion of the authorities and so this is where it should have started, stayed and ended. Bringing this to the forum was probably not a good thing.

There are too many here who seem to be offended by the conversations regarding Gregory and Savaas. These are the "little ones" I am worried about now. For they come to the Church as "little ones" seeking Truth and Life. This they can not find when the main point of the Traditional Orthodox forum is regarding a "bishop" and a "priest" (who, by the way are neither according to the statements of the Synod for their actions in Schism.) These words while they may seem to be a warning to others has gone to a point whrre it is just overdone.

It is time to leave these conversations aside and focus on the Church and Her saving Grace!

Rd. Chrysostomos lauds:

"Talk to him yourself, and let us mind only our business." (St John Chrsostom)

My dearest Rd. Chrsostomos,

To misapply St John Chrysostoms' reproof of those who spread gossip --to my exposure of gregory's child-molesting priest, is no different than quoting, "Blessed are the peacemakers," to press me to be at peace with a man Christ condemns to the depths of the sea.

"The words of the wise in the mouth of fools, is like a bone of pearls in the mouth of a dog."

Be assured, dear Rd. - you are now in my daily prayers,

(ROAC) Sub Deacon Nathaniel Kapner - your senior brother
