Despotovac,

Has Bishop Akakije written an official statement regarding the GOC (K) - SiR Union?

Does the STOC under Bishop Akakije have an official website where we may read his encyclicals and his statement regarding the GOC (K) union with the SiR and her former sister churches?

[Despotovac]

The official position of the STOC has not been released but in this article, where Bishop Acacius was interviewed, you can conclude that STOC generally situated positively according to the uniting GOC Synod and other TOC Churches and supporting GOH hierarchy in great unification of True Orthodox Churches.

Father [Despotovac],

Do you have an English translation yet of the newest post on the blog ?
I saw an announcement about or by Bishop Akakije, and wondered what it says ?

I so wish the blog would have EVERYTHING in English as well as Serbian....

It's diplomatic, though, that they put BOTH the British AND American flags for the
English Posts option ! They divided the box in half diagonally and gave equal time to both English-speaking
nationalities. It doesn't bother me which flag is used, but maybe some patriots of UK or US might
take exception to having only the other flag to indicate the English zone of the blog !
