Regarding Canonicity
...What I mean is that each one of you says, "I belong to Paul," or "I belong to Apollos," or "I belong to Cephas," or "I belong to Christ." Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptised in the name of Paul?... Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians 1:10-17
Much has been said about our Archdiocese and our Canonicity. And it has been said by those who meant to represent the Ecumenical Patriarchate, Clergy, Religion, Orthodoxy and the Apostolic Succession Church. Yet, with their actions, they have not lived up to it. Much like the story of our Lord Jesus, is repeated. He was crucified EXACTLY by those who meant to represent God! The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese and the Ecumenical Patriarchate is those who are in business to PURSUE us and PERSECUTE us as non-canonical. And yet, their Archbishop proclaims “unity” and “love” and “peace”. He and the Ecumenical Patriarchate, accept the Catholic Church, the Anglican Church and all the Churches, as they are part of the Council of Churches, yet they do not accept their own keen! They call us “non canonical”! That is the hypocrisy of these people! The same hypocrisy, that crucified our Lord!
If we are (for them) non-canonical, IT IS OUR PREROGATIVE AND WE DO NOT HAVE TO JUSTIFY TO ANYONE – WHO WE ARE. The Australian Government that allowed us to be a religious organisation, our people, our associates, and our congregations know us VERY WELL. If I we are canonical or non-canonical, IT IS OUR PREROGATIVE, between us and our Lord. Thank God, we are NOT paedophiles, drug dealers or users, womanisers, or narcissists like the lot they have in their Clergy. We have not harmed ANYONE, on the contrary, we have helped MANY, and the work we do as an organisation, is known VERY WELL to those who work with us and our organisation. Anyone who has a problem, if someone thinks we are scamming people, or we are non-canonical; go to the appropriate authorities, if you have such hard evidence. With our blessings! But be prepared to PAY GROSSLY, because the last one who attempted to defame us, PAID A LOT for his misfortune!
Therefore, please look at the nail in your eye and leave the rubbish out of our eye (Mathew 7:5-6). In fact, if you are without any sin yourselves, PLEASE cast the first stone (John 8: 7). If you have any dignity or true Christianity in you, new “Pharisees”, do not hide cowardly like the hypocritical sub humans, behind your “public announcements”, or behind your priestly gowns and accept the fact that true Orthodoxy is not about canonicity, it is about “actions speak louder than words”. And our actions(!) represent our canonicity whereas your actions, represent the exact opposite!
Closing, we wish to refer you to our Holy Scriptures regarding canonicity: “Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are not you my workmanship in the Lord? If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you, for the very existence of our Church is the proof I am the Apostle of the Lord. This is my defence to those who judge me” (1 Corinthians 9:1-4).
