"We've been robbed of our Priest and Building!"

[VirtueOnline] July 17, 2005--Everyone should know that we have done nothing wrong! Not Father Mark, not the vestry, not the parish! We did everything by the book. Applied for DEPO, informed Bishop Smith of Father Mark's sabbatical, wrote numerous letters to Smith (without a replies back). Over the past few months while Father Mark was on sabbatical, the congregation's pastoral needs were well taken care of. God Bless Father Clay Knapp for supplying us with Sunday Eucharist. Also Father Thomas Beck provided for Tuesday weekday worship. And as if that wasn't enough, the rest of the CT6 priests, including our in town priest Father Helmandollar, was also available on call. So Smith's ridiculous charges of "I did this out of concern for the pastoral needs of the parish" is simply not true.
