What our ROAC 'Friend' (???), the 'Bp. Andre-Maklakov' is scheming up for us all-

Note: To view/hear his 
video  speech, in Russian,  addressed to his Suzdal ROAC assembled other hierarchs, one has to go to
internetsobor.org, to view it, as I cannot capture that video here.



found on: http://internetsobor.org ...the original Russian article , video, and these comments.

COMMENT: He reports about his ( secret-) 'talks with ROCA  and RTOC bishops'.
(WHAT is really 'secret' these days!???...answer: NOTHING!)., but the one who reveals and makes public such 'talks' of bishops, is guilty  of violating confidences. Which in itself, makes us wonder as to what are his real motives in all this malicious double-dealing, including his outrageous interferences in our internal ROCA church matters, as with our Bp. Joseph's recent self-asked for retirement. And this award goes to ROAC (bigmouth/interferer in other's churches) ROAC 'Bp. Andre Maklakov'!...the very author of his ROAC's pathetic and lamentable false 'anathema' on our ROCA and on our sister SIR Synod, neither of which, with our other sister Romanian and Bulgarian sister churches,  are 'heretics'. How  pathetic!... he never misses an opportunity to speak ill of our Met. and our ROCA.
And some misguided souls want our ROCA  to unite with him and his uncanonical ROAC?
 NEVER!!!

Well, indeed, To put all the blame on are those “Cyprianites” ...
This is why until this day ROAC has not been able to unite with the RTOC-RTOCA, ROCA (V-V), ROCA (VA), ROAC (G-1), ROAC (G-2), RosOC (D), RosOC (V) , RosOC (A) and the [like] other fragments.

It’s very easy [convenient] for them to shoot from behind the corner with anathemas and articles, but they have neither the courage nor the honesty to sit down at one table and discuss those issues which in their opinion “separate” us from those “heroes” [bogatyrs] and “peacemakers”.

Cut [down] [humble down] then we’ll come to a settlement, ...

Of course, what that man says is terrible. He has in practical terms anathemized all the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad, Metropolitan Vitaly (as one praying with “Cyprianites”). It turns out according to his logic that since 1994 the Church of Christ has ceased to exist inasmuch as ROCOR – falling into heresy – ceased to be.
He “forgot” about the fact that bp. Gregory (Grabbe) concluded his life within the bosom of ROCOR, which [the latter] Andrew Maklakov has just anathemized.
Why would he lie that “Cyprianism” teaches that the Church can enliven with [the help of] the heresy that has already been condemned by the Ecumenical Councils?
One can only hope that that man has never understood a thing (and most likely this is how it is). This is the only thing that could at least somehow justify him.
Of course, no holding of negotiations [talks], and even [no] discussions is possible with him. All the more [so], this would also be a relief to him because he, poor, has been tortured by persuasions and invitations to dialogue[s].
I think the time of gathering the “fragments” is over even [though] it has never started [at all] – each one went their separate [own] ways.

"Собирание осколков" ИПЦ русской традиции в Америке. Епископ Павловский Андрей, управляющий приходами РПАЦ в США, докладывает XVII Съезду Суздальской епархии РПАЦ о своих собеседованиях с иерархами РПЦЗ(А) и РИПЦ, 17 июля

Ну да,.. всему виноваты эти "киприаниты"...
Поэтому по сей день РПАЦ не может соединится с РИПЦ-РИПЦЗ, РПЦЗ(В-В), РПЦЗ(В-А), РПАЦ(Г-1), РПАЦ(Г-2), РосПЦ(Д), РосПЦ(В), РосПЦ(А) и прочими дроблениями.

Стрелять из-за угла анафемами и статьями им очень легко, а сесть за общий стол и обсудить те вопросы которые по их мнению нас "разделяют" у этих "богатырей" и "миротворцев" нет смелости и честности.

Руби потом разберемся,...

Конечно, то, что говорит этот человек - ужасно. Он фактически предал анафеме всю Зарубежную Церковь, в том числе и Митрополита Виталия (как молившегося с "киприанитами") . По его логике получается, что с 1994 года Церковь Христова прекратила свое существование, поскольку РПЦЗ, впав в ересь, перестала ею быть.
Он "забыл" о том, что вл. Григорий (Граббе) окончил свою жизнь в лоне РПЦЗ, которую Андрей Маклаков только что предал анафеме.
Зачем ему лгать, что "киприанизм" учит, что Церковь может уживаться с ересью, уже осужденной Вселенскими Соборами?
Остается только надеяться, что этот человек вообще ничего не понимает (скорее всего, так и есть). Это единственное, что хоть как-то может его оправдать.
Конечно, никаких переговоров, и даже разговоров, с ним вести невозможно. Тем более, это будет и ему облегчением, поскольку, его, бедного, замучили уговорами и приглашениями к диалогу.
Я думаю, что время собирания "осколков" прекратилось даже не начавшись - каждый пошел своим путем.

"Forgive us, our Sovereign"
Topic: Holy Royal Martyrs

 

A series of billboards bearing the image of Tsar Martyr Nicholas and his family are appearing in towns and cities all across Russia.
The wording of the billboards vary, but the message is the same: "Forgive us, our Sovereign."
On July 17th Russia will mark the 94th anniversary of the murders of Tsar Nicholas II, his wife Alexandra Feodorovna, their four daughters, Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia, and their son and heir-apparent, Alexis.

Blessing of Mountain View

Our ROCA in North America: About the first partial blessing of Mountain View, by Peter Koltypin-Wallovskoy



Rus

The Eternal Beacon of Faith.

One more parish in the church abroad. 


    Recently we received an invitation to a partial consecration of yet another church, dedicated in this instance to the New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia. My wife and I decided we must attend such an important celebration of our Church Abroad.
It reminded me how Russian immigrants in the 1920's and 1930's began building churches throughout the entire diaspora with funds provided by the faithful. No matter how the conspirators from Moscow tried to hamper these efforts and "extinguish the icon-lamps" of the true Church, the churches continued to be built.
In 2007, the Russian intelligence agencies were able to convince a part of the clergy of the Church Abroad to join the Moscow Patriarchia. A considerable part remained loyal to the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad and the legacy of its First Hierarchs, Metropolitans Anthony, Anastassy, St. Philaret and Vitaly. In our Church, led by Metropolitan Agafangel and 12 bishops, with around 135 priests and 120 parishes scattered throughout the whole world and Russia, the number of such "inextinguishable icon-lamps" is ever greater and greater. So now we are invited to yet another festive consecration of a new church, a new "inextinguishable icon-lamp."

As you pass through the center of the village of Middleburgh in New York State, a very beautiful, hilly landscape opens before you. From far away you can see on one of the hills the golden cupola of our Orthodox Church with a beautiful, historic Orthodox Vladimir cross. The cupola was designed by the architect S. Nikitin. The cupola was erected under the technical supervision of Oleg Mikhaylovich Rodzianko. A graceful two-story building with 35 rooms abuts the church, surrounded by many acres of land, and contains the Russian Orthodox Religious and Cultural Center, only three hours away from New York City.
Here, on the evening of Saturday, November 24, 2012, with a large number of faithful in attendance, Archbishop Andronik (Kotlaroff) and Rev. Victor Dobroff performed the partial consecration followed by vespers. The choir under the able leadership of choir director Mark Kotlaroff sang wonderfully and embellished the service, creating a special prayerful feeling.

As you enter the church, you sense the cozy layout of the large church. This church is larger than the one in the Jordanville monastery. It also has excellent acoustics and the voices of the priests are easily heard by everyone standing in the church. Your eyes are drawn to the elegant wooden iconostasis which was carved by hand. A master carpenter with many years of experience worked on it for an entire year. Most of the main icons on the iconostasis were painted in the Rublev style by iconographers from Russia. The beauty of the church's interior is quite extraordinary.

On the next day, Sunday, November 25, 2012, at 10 AM, Divine Liturgy was served in the newly-consecrated church by Archbishop Andronik, along with Archpriest Nikita Grigoriev, Rev. Victor Dobroff and Rev. Anthony Gunin. Many families with children were in attendance and it was joyous to have so many younger people present.
After the liturgy, Archbishop Andronik invited everyone to join in the luncheon. It is worthy to note that we Russians who live in foreign lands far from our homeland and who have preserved our faith for decades, do not forget out history, traditions and especially our Russian cuisine. A Lenten soup with mushrooms was served to the monastics and clergy during the luncheon along with a tasty fish and piroshky (patties) with cabbage and mushrooms. Everyone else was served a soup, turkey, piroshky with meat and mushrooms, syrniky (fried cheese pancakes) and tasty tender potatoes. All the food was prepared by the sisterhood of the church.What a pleasant surprise it was when the directors of the Center announced that the Mayor of the village of Middleburgh, Mr. Matthew Avitabile, who is Greek Orthodox, had sent an official letter of congratulations on the occasion of the consecration of the church and had promised to help our Church in its missionary work and in its various events.
The director of the Center, Yuriy Georgiyevich Lukin, spoke at the luncheon and expressed his profound gratitude to all the volunteers who devoted many hours and hard work in the renovation and construction of the church and the Center's building. Mr. Lukin also thanked deeply all the craftsmen; the architects, carpenters, electricians and other specialists who had devoted and continue to devote many hours on improvements in the entire complex.

The administration of the Russian Orthodox Religious and Cultural Center has announced that the full consecration of the church and Center is scheduled for July 20-21, 2013. After the services, the church and the building will be open to visitors from near and far. A Russian festival with a concert of Russian music is planned on those dates.

Awaiting the Resurrection of the Dead and the Life of the Age to Come

Note: Of course, this is all in Greek.
But to all of us, it is a meditation on life and death,
and what our Orthodox Church teaches us- that this short earthly transient life is but 
a preparation for Eternal Life.
Here is not our end or our meaning. It is to be with God.
 
"Grant me, O Lord,  the Home Country of my heart's desiring,
making me again, a citizen of Paradise".
