Eminent and Most Reverend Sirs:
Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!
As discussed in the e-mail correspondence, I removed myself from any membership, position, communion or even informal fellowship with the "synod" of the "Orthodox Catholic Church in North America" in July of 1999. I have come to repent of my involvement with that group, and have realized that they can hardly be accounted a Christian Church, and certainly they were never an Orthodox Catholic jurisdiction as defined by the Holy Canons. I do not contest your claims to be the only remaining legitimate heirs of St. Aftimios Ofiesh, and have long ago stopped using any references to affiliation with THEOCACNA or its apostolic lineage in our jurisdictional propaganda. Our Church in Canada is a daughter church of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church. I am attaching a letter certifying that I had no knowledge of any attempt on the part of Denis Garrison et al. to depose or in any other way canonically interfere with the person and works of Metropolitan VICTOR.

Friday, May 5, A.D. 2000 (New Style)

RE: STATEMENT REGARDING ACTIONS OF DENIS MICHEL GARRISON ET AL.

Eminent and Most Reverend Sirs:

Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!

I hereby certify and affirm the following statement to be the full truth: "I, Andrei Shawn Patrick Bazilsky-Brennan, of the City of Kitchener, in the Regional Municipality of Waterloo, in the Province of Ontario, in the Dominion of Canada, make affirmation and declare that at no time preceding, during, or following my involvement with DENIS MICHEL GARRISON of Maryland and the other denizens of the so-called 'ORTHODOX CATHOLIC CHURCH IN NORTH AMERICA' was I ever aware of or party to any attempt on their part or my own to suspend, depose, excommunicate, anathematize, or otherwise canonically molest the person of His Eminence, Metropolitan-Archbishop VICTOR (Prentice) of Mountain View, AR., senior hierarch of THE HOLY EASTERN ORTHODOX CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH IN NORTH AMERICA (THEOCACNA), and I further certify my willingness to confirm this affirmed declaration openly and/or under oath as circumstances require." Dated this Friday, May 5, A.D. 2000 according to the civil calendar, with my own Sign Manual affixed below, and the signature of a witness of proper age and sound mind. Signed:                                

      Andrei Shawn Patrick Bazilsky-Brennan

Witnessed
