Ο ΚΥΒΟΣ ΕΡPΙΦΘΗ (The Die Is Cast)

Alea jacta est - Julius Caesar

=========================================================================================

Moderators' Note: It is with deep sadness, but also a sense of abiding justice that we post the following note, with a link to the complaint outlined below in Mr. Colessides' e-mail. We should all thank those who had the courage and fortitude to do what must be done to protect the legacy of our forefathers. Further, we should join and assist them in the difficult days to come. That this tragic situation needed to come to this pass is a failure, not of those who tried every avenue to forestall such a now-necessary action, but of those who seek to use the church to dominate and to destroy our once-thriving community by any means possible. 

The situation did not have to come to this: our Archbishop in America, Demetrios, along with the Holy Synod, set forth a reasonable way forward, acknowledging the prerogatives of all sides. It is sad that our Metropolitan, our local clergy, and our appointed Parish Council chose to further divide this community and snub the directives of His Eminence and the Holy Synod. In doing so they have ignored the UPRs, the bylaws of our blessed community, and the civil laws of the State of Utah. Time and again we have sought compromise based on the holy principles of Our Lord's Church, on the UPRs, flawed as they are, and on our Lord's own example of simple honor, fairness and ethics - again sadly, to no avail.
