Holy Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church

March 22, 2002

Dear Fr. James (Iakavous) Rosselli

May our Holy Lenten Season enlighten you to the truth's of our tenets and Holy Orthodox Eastern Rites.

The spirit of divisions in our One Holy Apostolic Orthodox Ecclesia can be described by references of Western or Eastern Rites. The body of Christ, the bride, was ordained by our Lord at His inception of the first church. This Apostolic Succession emulated to the third century and by Constantine's hand established our Holy Church and it's position of Patriarchate in Constant inople in 324 AD.

The church suffered division from the hands of self grandizement men that has disunited our Holy Ortho-Doxia (true doctrine faith). We must as men of God, fight for the restoration of our faith in total unity under Christ our God. The Order of the Holy Seplechure and it's designation as knights today have the holy anointing's to fulfill our Lord's prayer of unity during his ministry on earth. Our Lord has appointed my Episcopate to unite all Ukrainian Orthodox Jurisdictions in Exile. We have since the TOMA from the Ecumenical Patriarch in 1920 existed as ONE jurisdiction in the new world hemisphere in exile to escape the satanic grasp of communism in all of Russia and its republics. Many Holy Ukrainian Orthodox Entities have ensued especially since 1960, when Metropolitan Palladios, the one only Metropolitan of the Ukrainian Jurisdictions was a founding member of S.C.O.B.A., Standing Conference Orthodox Bishops of America. We were in communion with all major recognized canonical jurisdictions.

My dear brother in Christ, if we are the Bride of Christ One United, we need not seek restoration of any "friendship". We should never have found ourselves divided. Christ, our God has commanded in these "Last Days" of our church's eschatology to:
1. Be in Holy Communion in one Holy Chalice.
2. Have love of our Holy Theotokos to demonstrate our love for one another.
3. Never deny the power of the Holy Spirit.

Therefore, the disunity and confusion of many "Archbishops, Metropolitans. Hierarchs", forming many schismatic jurisdictions, especially in our Holy Ukrainian history in the western hemisphere must bend to the UNITY movement of humility. This means to have ONE Holy Synod, not many uncanonical entities.

It means, One Holy Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Exile under ONE Metropolitan an autocephalous jurisdiction with many Bishoprics with their independent jurisdictions as dioceses only!

Archbishops by its own definition means many brother bishops are his responsibility to love, support and pray for them. It never was intended to promote separations. Satanic principalities have accomplished that.

One Holy Synod, eight Bishops, One being an Archbishop and one being the Metropolitan is our now beginning to restore the One Holy Ukrainian Autocephalous Church in Exile to the former Divine Unity. Therefore, we will not recognize any references to the Western Rites or any spirit masked as Orthodox which compromises our unity for the sake of numbers.

God, our Father, our Lord, ICXC and our Holy Spirit.
