The Last Days of Pompeii

An e-mail was recently sent to the community from parishcouncil@gocslc.org with the signature of the proistameno of Prophet Elias only, inviting us to "partake in the following Services and Educational Programs which will be held at Prophet Elias Church this New Ecclesiastical Year." The list of services to be offered by the proistameno of Prophet Elias only is impressive albeit almost 8 years after his arrival to our community. It is doubtful that he has been unaware of the existence of these services since his arrival. Why now? Is this an attempt to regain lost friends who have scattered because of his actions?

For one who has said that he "never forgives", what could he possibly teach? Many services have been added to the calendar which take place at Holy Trinity without the fanfare of this recent e-mail. Why the fuss of this formal announcement? It is apparent that the master plan to divide, at least in his mind, is alive and well.

On the eve of the festival I am left to wonder how many Judas hugs and kisses he will give to people he hates to see. Surely, when the cameras arrive he will be front and center playing the part of "great leader." In reality the only time he sets foot at Holy Trinity is when it benefits him to rub elbows with "the rich and famous."

We have seen and felt his tactics. After 8 years there is only one decision remaining for you to make: your immediate departure. Your mission to divide has failed it is time now to leave.
