I again advise avoiding that word. Its use is not warranted in this context, and it would be perceived as an impertinence, even a threat.
Fr. Serge Yes, that is what I meant. CDL

Fr. Serge
CDL  Good thinking. It is a very very serious canonical offense to rise up in rebellion against one's bishop, metropolitan, archbishop or patriarch. Calling a Sobor in opposition is the strongest act you could take against any hierarch. Father Serge is the one at real risk for causing a tsimis between and among bishops in this case, so if you want him at your conflab you'd better know precisely what you are doing and quit fooling around with what you don't know. I am still waiting for the packet of recommended changes and the letter of petition from clergy and laity. I guess I'll have to wait till after the conflab. But then again I am beginning to realise the wait may be even much longer than that. Eli

Even without a Sobor, there has already been considerable rebellion fomented on this Forum. So it would seem to be little more than semantics at this point. For the past year or so, there has existed a de facto virtual conference right here. We have just been so busy being in the moment to realise the significance of the "non event" of such universal communication within our church. True we don't read what the Bishops and many Priests feel about subjects on this forum, but I am quite sure our Bishops know what transpires here. If this is a rebellion is sure doesn't amount to much. The bishops seem to still be yawning at the who tempest, if it is even that. CDL

Dear Steve,
You asked for a translation of "Odna Baba Skazala". It means "A Baba Said . .. " What greater source of knowledge could there be, especially if confirmed with sauerkraut juice?
Fr Serge
