Dear Readers and Supporters: Last March I told you about an anonymous long time friend and supporter of this ministry who fell on hard times, and a generous portion of you volunteered to help her financially to prevent her eviction and car repossession. Unfortunately, once again she and her child are in a similar difficult position, though a little bit worse. I hate to see this happen to her and not try to help in any way. So if once again you can help out with a financial contribution, it would be greatly appreciated. You can contribute to her through the link below. My hope is that we can raise around $3000. Thank you.
Day 5: Total So Far: $730

New Conflict Between Australian Archdiocese & Genuine Orthodox Church

A new ecclesiastic quarrel burst out in Australia, where Athens and the Phanar were also involved, between the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia and the Genuine Orthodox Church (GOC) of the nation. The new conflict was inflamed by an attack initiated by the Bishop of the GOC of Trimythus Mr. Christodoulos, against the Orthodox Church, which he considers to be “a sinner daughter of a sinner mother”. The Archdiocese of Australia brought Mr. Christodoulos to its Primary Spiritual Court, charging him for several “illegal” actions aiming at the manipulation of the pilgrims. Bishop of Dorileou Mr. Nikandros informed Mr. Christodoulos about the charges, while his “trial” was scheduled for the 6th of April, at the offices of the Holy Authority of Adelaide, Australia. The Bishop of Trimythus denies his presence in the Court and answered by characterizing the Orthodox Church as a “sinner”. He also supported that those who are members of the Orthodox Church should be charged and not him. He is not going to pay any attention to the threats regarding the Spiritual Court.
