He is desperate to find a bishop to co ordain his priest monk and cultic worshipper Fr Geroge to the episcopate. he is working on a secret ordination with a Met Angelos of the Lamians in Greece.

Oh, Father George. Yes, I remember his postings.

Where are you from. What Jurisdiction?

I am from Maryland, and my "jurisdiction", unfortunately for you, is "Episcopal Church USA". So you can only come to my jurisdiction if you want to be a Damned Protestant and Ecumenist of the first order. Even I, though, would not recognize Gregory as a bishop; as far as I am concerned-- for that matter, as far as my church is concerned-- he was deposed for good cause.

A jurisdiction isn't what you need, so much as a cleric whom you can trust and who can minister to you and the injuries to your soul. If you need an Orthodox church here, there is a Ukrainian church down the road, and for that matter ROCOR and OCA and every other "ecumenist" acronym and I don't know, maybe some of the traditionalist groups too. What I fear for you at the moment is that some other opportunistic, abusive cleric or layman is going to take advantage of you and take you on another ride by appealing to their side of these jurisdictional machinations.

I read in a Gerondikon a while ago saying, that a monk should submit all his faith and will to God, regardless if he is being jailed or not. You should've been rejoicing that you were being jailed, we would have been humbled. A monk does not live to expose anyone, even his persecutors. You should be praying for Gregory then sticking on the internet and posting for the innocent people who are victims of Gregory...

Lord Jesus Christ Have mercy.

I suggest, that you grab your prayer rope and humble yourself, you are a monk (allegedly speaking) to pray for the world, so pray for us and for Gregory, and leave what is the Will of God to be done.

Tom is more than right. If you are Monk, go look for a monastery, and not some parish. Don't think you became Orthodox to have a safe right in Paradise. So start expecting worse in your life, because that is what will save you. Another advice is that a monk shouldn't be occupying himself with the worldly, meaning, get of the computer, because it can cause severe spiritual turmoil. Find a spiritual father/confessor immediatly before you fall into delusion.

I believe Subdeacon Nathaniel is a novice and just learned that his Bishop and abbott are not Orthodox. let us please have compasion on him. This is a shock to the system to go through.

Are you teaching about monastic life? Are you a monk?

Thank you CGW -what is your name- for your very timely words. It doesnt matter to me that you are in the Episcopal Church, you are a good human being and that is the crux of the Apostolic Church - that is what Christ wants us to be.

For Christ and His Holy Church,
Sbn Nathaniel
