Now this "IS" good news.

Nick Chirikos

These are the words I have waited so many years to read. My faith in the Greek Orthodox Church in America is being restored, and my soul LEAPS FOR JOY at the reading of it. This terrible injustice is being reversed and those who suffered so long will receive their just vindication. We have many more wrongs to right. Our truly worthy Archbishop will lead and guide us in the accomplishment of those tasks.

Thank you, Your Eminence! May God grant you many, many years.
Glory to God Almighty, and on earth, peace to men of good will.

This is the best news possible about the future of the GOA. It is nice to see the viciousness of the past being healed by the reinstatement of these fine priests to their positions. It is equally nice to see the viciousness of the past being healed by the reinstatement of Fr. Stephanopoulos to his position of Dean of the Cathedral.

The reign of terror is over. It is a shame that someone of the caliber of Archbishop Spyridon found it unable to admit to these serious errors of judgments and do the right thing about them.

It is also nice to see that now that Archbishop Spyridon is gone, that the Church is speedily moving towards reconciliation by these actions. Fear has been replaced by a new feeling in the Church, a good feeling. Regards,

This is great news! But also Fr. Dn. Robert Scott, who wrote and spoke his conscience during the Spyridon time, and got removed from his priestly assistance capacity in his New Hampshire parish for his trouble by Spyridon, ought to also be restored.

A strong wind has blown through the fog of the last three years and cleared the air. This is indeed a step, a major step, in the right direction. In our parish, we are all much more relaxed and hopeful of a brighter future (epiphany) for our church.

Robert Scott is one of the outstanding Orthodox Christians in our country today. It is precisely because he is both Orthodox and an American, with a vision for the Orthodox Church fully in and of America, that Spyridon and the haters went after him. Scott is an adornment to the Diocese of Boston. He should indeed be restored to his assistant capacity,... and soon.
