[...] As for the assimilation of the congregation in the 1990's the Orthodox Church celebrates when the lost are found and when the prodigal returns. |
Perhaps then Archbishop Spyridon was mislead or even seduced not by money, but by the desire to reform and save the lost. When the penetitant waits at the hospitial entrance you accept them in. They were re-ordained and their parishoners re-baptised christmated etc. Any monetary donation whether given by a heirarch or individual is a token of love and sacrifice.
