Our Priests

This past weekend, two of our attached priests at St. Nicholas weighed in on the "crises" facing the Orthodox Church in America. Father Joseph issued a letter on the the Orthodox Christians for Accountablity Web Site indicating a need to condiser the view of a tough and truthful love by our Bishops. his view indicated that through standing for reelection the Bishops could bring about a significant change for the Church. The result of the election was not the end result, rather the act of this kind of love would accomplish a number of steps to establsihing the trust which is no so lacking. Father Denis gave a sermon on Sunday, recapitualating a brief history of the strucutre of the Orthodox Church. He then went on to address the current crises. His view in general was to maintain the structure, since the Bishops and Leaders are annointed and serve until they themselves decided the timing of their leaving. But he gave a very elioquint diatribe on forgiveness, even if one has "done wrong."
