Subject: AN OPEN LETTER: WE WANT THE FACTS!-A serious request of
Hegumen Andrei Erastov in Melbourne, Australia, -A central spiritual
teacher/guide of this Kotlaroff-Schism, and also to his co-schismatics-
Dear Father Hegumen Andrei (Erastov), in Melbourne, Australia,
For myself and also for a
number others here, who loyally, and with knowledge, continue to
support our ROCA and our Vladyka Metropolitan Agafangel and our ROCA
Synod, we request of you and also of all who
are your fellow co- leaders/conspirators or co-'spiritual guides'
of your pathetic and groundless schism:
FINALLY, please give us...THE FACTS:
A clear NUMBERED LISTING,
in plain direct honest words, in both English and Russian, so that all can read and understand it, of what ALL you
claim he has done wrong, so that he deserves to be removed as
metropolitan and severely punished, etc. (tell us EVERYTHING! PLEASE!) of
his wicked evil deeds, with the dates and the places and the persons
involved, ...the named-witnesses and their recorded testimonies, AS IN A
COURT CASE, in plain direct words, without any useless anger or emotions,
of what EXACT evils or infractions of canon laws or simply what
you consider are the misdeeds or 'uncanonical crimes' OR UNCHRISTIAN
BEHAVIOUR, of Vladyka Agafangel, or our other ROCA bishops, ...and with
EACH of these charges, please also supply us
with: some SOLID verifiable proofs or evidence that he and they
indeed are guilty of each of these alleged wrongdoings ...or as you put
it, his and their, 'abuse of power' etc.
Be fore-warned, however, that WE
DO believe that our Orthodox canons rule our church life, as you do
not, Fr. Andrei, [as you so plainly have previously stated on rocana.org] so you must prove that he has violated CANONS!
So far, all your tiny
rebel group has put out are personal attacks, [that in essence, that
you 'don't like him'] or garbled nonsense and unproven slanders with
your repeating of various outrageous and ignorant-baseless calumnies, ...a number of which concern far away confused events and
hostile persons, pro-Putin super- nationalists, in the Russian
Federation, etc.,
WHO LEFT OUR CHURCH ON THEIR OWN, and they were not thrown out by our Metropolitan!,
and word-of-mouth malicious gossip, from enemies and critics of
our ROCA, ..and defamers of our metropolitan and our other honorable
bishops, at best.
Malicious ill-will mixed
with profound ignorance of Orthodoxy, and ignorance of people and
events, these are the foundations of your schism, plus a love for power
and control of monies and parishes ....to build
up your rebel earthly kingdom, which is nothing but a useless schism,
and is already outside of Orthodoxy.
To date, you give us faithful, zero proof that Metropolitan Agafangel or our other bishops, have committed anything whatsoever!
in violation of either Orthodox canon laws, OR that they have had
malicious non-Christian intent IN THEIR HEARTS, or in any of their
words or actions or episcopal decisions.
To our view, it is you
schismatics who are violating many canons, creating a schism which is in
itself, a heresy, and also violating basic Christian behavior, and it
is yourselves who are shameless slanderers
and liars and deceivers.
This same simple request has also previously been made,
a number of times already, by
myself and others, of Vl. Andronik, with no response, and also of his
nephew, Mark Kotlaroff, and also of your other prime leaders of your
schism ...and so far, NONE of you
have responded with any precise or believable sane list, or with such a listing, accompanied by any proofs/evidence/witnesses of your vaguely alluded to, SUGGESTED ...mere gossip-accusations.
It is long overdue for you all to: PUT UP..... OR SHUT UP!
List his supposed crimes, ONE BY ONE, and prove them, or STOP and cease your idiotic and
unchristian attacks on our Vladyka Agafangel and on our ROCA, and just
finally .....admit your errors and sins, and repent,
in time for the coming celebration of the Feast of Christ's Nativity.
Whatever you send me, I
shall share ....and of course, with astute rebuttals or responses to each
of your charges, by those in our church who DO know Orthodox
canons!..., who know about the actual life and deeds
of Vladyka Agafangel, and who also do know, what is proper Orthodox
Christian behavior, normal Orthodox church ORDER, Orthodox Patristics,
and what is according to the scriptural teachings of Our Lord, Jesus
Christ.
May you and your little
group of confused and misguided confederates, come to repentance before
you leave this world, Fr. Andrei!
Because what you and your co-workers are a party to, is the Devil's dreadful own work, not of God.
Rd. Daniel in Oregon
