Your welcoming posts are not at all welcome to other Western Rite people (principally the Tasmanians) and they prompt immediate responses that they disagree with your welcome and intend to hightail it out the York Forum door and shake the dust off their feet. I can see why you don't want such an uncharitable atmosphere to reappear on the Forum . It's all very distressing indeed.

I was received into ROCOR by Metropolitan Hilarion on this wise: he called me into the Altar (Sanctuary) , told me to vest and then kneel at the Holy Table (Altar). He then placed his omophor and hand on me and read the ordination prayers over me straight through without ceremony. After that I concelebrated the Divine Liturgy. He later told me that he had "corrected my previous ordination". He charged me to look after Fr. Augustine Whitfield and to celebrate the Western (Mt. Royal and Sarum) and Byzantine Liturgies in my house-chapel. He also asked that I help out from time to time in surrounding parishes/missions. Holyrood is a cell of Mt. Royal and is part of the Eastern Diocese directly under the Metropolitan. It is affiliated with the other Western Rite monasteries of ROCOR (Saint Petroc and Christminster). So there you have it. Asking your prayers, In Xto, Fr. David (Pierce) ______________________________________________ Dear Father David, Allow me to say how nice it is to encounter you on the Net and to welcome you into the Russian Church Abroad. Here is a big cyber Russian bear hug from your brother monk in New Zealand! Allow me also to embarrass you by mentioning that I found it impressive that both you and Father Aidan waited patiently, 3 years and more, before being received. Fine examples of the monastic virtues of patience and stability. Here is Metropolitan Hilarion's Official Statement which will appear in the next issue of the diocesan magazine. He speaks of the Cheirothesia as the regularisation of Fr Aidan's exisiting Orders. _______________________________________ This is to certify that on Thursday, September 18, 2008, before the Divine Liturgy, celebrated in St. Sergius of Radonezh Church at the Synod of Bishops in New York City, we regularized through cheirothesia the ordination to the Holy Priesthood of Hieromonk Aidan (Keller). Hieromonk Aidan (Keller) is assigned to the Eastern America & New York Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia. [seal] + Hilarion [handwritten signature] Metropolitan of Eastern America and New York, First Hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia ____________________________________

The main reason, I think, is to be found in history. At the time Fr. Michael came into the Church, ROCOR was a hothouse of supercorrectness and frankly, narrowmindedness. ROCOR had incorrectly begun rebaptizing everyone,!

Fr. Ambrose, Thank you for clearing up that detail for me. I had thought rebaptism was mandatory in ROCOR during that time, but I see that it was not, which is good. It gives me even greater hope for Metropolitan Hilarion's tenure as the first hierarch of ROCOR. And I'm glad to be here. Thanks for the welcome!
