Some Questions!

Well, all you Brothers and Sisters of the Salt Lake City area whose higher level of priority is the "almighty dollar" , have you been dictated to enough to take over control of your community?

There are some major questions that need to be addressed.

1- Why was a letter addressed to The Greek Orthodox Community from the Metropolitan and dated May, 31 2007 finally made public to the community on July 6, 2007?

2- Who represented the community at the Clergy-Laity Assembly of our holy Metropolis that was held the first part of May 2007?

3- How was this representative selected and based on a unanimous vote on a resolution effecting the Salt Lake City Community without even getting an overall opinion from the community?

4- Why after almost 40 years has separate parishes become such an issue? Is the present hierarchy of the church more informed and schooled in these matters than the hierarchy that originally granted Salt Lake City the dual church one parish scenario in the first place?

5- Why are the clergy conducting the selection of the committee to do the survey of the community?

6- Whose brain wave was it to have Holy Trinity own all the Salt Lake City property, apartments and parking lots and Prophet Elias all the Holladay property?

7- Why do we have a church board and of what value are they to the community if they don’t know what the clergy is doing and what decisions they are making?
