Church under attack

The American Church was under attack from within orthodoxy even before it was formally instituted. In 1919 a list of over 100 pages consisting of charges against Bishop Germanos was sent to the Patriarch of Antioch and the synod but no action was taken. Why? It would appear Bp. Germanos was a good fundraiser for the Antiochian Patriarch Gregorios. The Patriarch sent an apology to the Russian Patriarch and that was that. No action was taken against the bishop who violated the canons. 

This was the begining of a slow death for christian unity. Some of the ethnic, or canonical, old world Churches wanted to control orthodoxy in America even if it went against the canons and tradition. They viewed North America as the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. They even went to court and took the Cathedral of this Church from Abp. Aftimios and he no longer had the heart to fight them even after his lawyer advised him they could win and regain the Church. They were money hungry then and they continue this way in many cases today. 

The cause of orthodox disunity in North America today is and has been greed and a quest for power. Greed for money and property seem to top this list. They are ashamed to face this Church. They continue to act contary to the canons but they claim to be canonical traditional orthodox. "They" know who they are and you, the reader should also know. They are not compassionate christians but the wolves in sheeps clothing. They lay claims to everyone and everything. They are the canonical old world orthodox and they are the pseudo independent orthodox in the "new world" who make false claims based on lies, and claims, that they know are false. 

There are very few good compassionate true orthodox clergy in North America today. Only those not devoured by greed and lust for all that they can get can be viewed as true orthodox. As long as they knowingly act contrary to the canons they claim to love and live by they will continue to be the cause of orthodox disunity. 

We do publicly condemn all those who hide behind their robes, vestments and titles while knowingly doing those acts condemned by Holy Scripture and the Canons of the Church. We have been contacted by more than a few of these individuals and we do not accept them into this Church.
