FROM: Metropolitan Agafangel 15/12/2016 14:11
Today I received by email a letter from Abbot Andrew (Erastov):
Addressed to: Your Eminence Metropolitan Agafangel:
Your Eminence, You are invited to the 6th All-Diaspora Council, which
will take place from 10 to 14 January, 2017, in the Spiritual Center of
Mountain View, New York. At the forthcoming Council the in-depth
reasons for the crisis formed in the ROCA for the
last 8 years will be thoroughly discussed, and ways out of the present
critical situation will be sought.
SIGNED: The Pre-Council Committee of the 6th All-Diaspora Council.
RESPONSE FROM VLADYKA AGAFANGEL:
And I answered him:
Your Reverence! According to the decision of our Council of Bishops in
2016, all those persons who will be present from 10 to 14 January 2017
at the heretical gathering at Mountain View, incorrectly referred to as
"the 6th All-Diaspora Council," if they are
ordained - will be prohibited from serving and, if they are lay people
or monks - banned from Holy Communion. So I, even if I wanted to, I
have no right to be present there. The same is true for you.
Therefore, being responsible for the Australian Diocese,
I forbid you to participate in this unlawfulness.
With a sincere concern for your salvation
+Metropolitan Agafangel
