Bishop of Gaylord, Michigan bans ad orientem Masses and mandates girls be allowed to serve at the altar and women to read as lectors.

Diesel is £2 per litre at the pump, and “right-wing” journalists and influencers are taking paid-up propaganda tours to the country chiefly responsible. British patriots should not shill for Israel, and you should be suspicious of anyone who does.

The last thing we’ll comment on concerning recent events: The cult apparatus of a self proclaimed “comedian” declaring heresies and black listing laypeople upon his own authority (along with clergy he keeps in his back pocket to grant him justification of his behavior) is antithetical to the hierarchy and, in turn, spirit of Orthodoxy. It is up to spiritual fathers, bishops, and synods of the Orthodox Church to discipline such individuals if they deem fit, let alone if they’re doing anything wrong at all. A disagreement on theological perspective and evangelization does not warrant a response that supersedes the hierarchy of the Church and the guidance of the Saints. This repeated behavior towards good willed individuals and organizations (including clergy and whole archdiocese in the past) is representative of a spiritual rot and malice that supports not God’s people, but circular self-gratification that labels those who could share the chalice with them as outsiders. Our organization will not be bullied or hounded upon into ending our mission of providing much needed funding and distributing the wisdom of clergy/monastics of the Orthodox Church, just as we understand that persecution for the sake of truth is what Christ foretold us of during His earthly ministry.
