Another Perspective on the Crises

I reviewed another reflective letter about the OCA crises by Fr. Lowe. He recapitulates the story of Elijah, and how this prophet fell way short of what he was told to do by God. Even running off in fear after an initial confrontation with the enemies of God. In the story, even Elijah's adversaries saw him as troublesome to Israel. He was God's anointed prophet but his actions and results did not do any real good from God's asking. So God pushed him aside and choose another prophet to complete the work.

If you read between the lines and the innuendos he presents, the message Fr. Lowe is presenting suggests that the instigator of the OCA crises is comparable to Elijah. He cried out as a prophet (or tattle tail) and then like Elijah did not take the prophet's role and try to right things. His closing implication suggests that the present leadership could at some point all be pushed aside and God will select new leaders to finish the job for the Orthodoxy in America.
