Are two ROAC camps developing?

ROAC sites by non-ROAC members? WHY?

Post by 尼古拉前执事 »

This is the same site that was pretending to be a ROAC site before with its information coming from the not-ROAC priest, Fr. Elia. It seems to want to cause scandal and schism in both of its forms. It is run by Joe Suaiden apparently, who recently joined this forum, but last I knew he was a member of ACROD but attends an Antiochian church. He can clarify if this is no longer true.

No Schism

The purpose of the new site is to preserve the dignity of the ROAC in America and clarify the canonical boundaries in the Church. The majority of the Church in America is directly under Metr Valentine of Suzdal. Whether in due to deliberate error or not, people have mistaken the Colorado Diocese as the Diocese of America. It's my hope that such is corrected soon, as well as errors in the True Orthodox history on the "ROAC America" site and certainly such strange anomalies such as recorded phone conversations. We have to get to a point where everything is stable.

I believe that even the folks at DS wish for this to happen, but the best way to do this is to conform to the positions of the greater Synod.

Now, Nicholas, that's not fair... I said I was going to start commemorating Metr Valentine a couple of weeks ago. Don't tell me you believe Al Green's comments about Joe Suaiden more than Joe Suaiden's comments.

That is why I said, "He can clarify if this is no longer true." :-)

I don't know, Al Green can be fairly convincing at times. :D

"Metropolitan Valentin is coming to America after Pascha, in connection with a meeting of the full Synod to settle everything." - Source

Where? When? Will the decisions be published in such a way that we will not have to worry about documents being changed, truncated, or translated in a misleading way? (I'm not accusing anyone, but obviously someone is fudging the truth, or at least being selective with their facts...)
