A
Report to the Holy Hierarchical Council of the STOC on a visit and conversation
with Bishop Artemije
Your
Grace,
For
a long time I had the wish and intention to converse with Bishop Artemije as I
was interested in his position on True Orthodoxy and a possible union with the STOC.
Although Bishop Artemije is an
anti-ecumenist and opposes innovations, there are quite a few unclear things
and contradictions in his confession of faith.
To wit, I heard from his believers that they have the same confession of
faith as the STOC, while in their actions it can be seen that this is not
exactly true. Bishop Artemije
concelebrated with New Calendar schismatics several times and received both
help and support from them, meanwhile declaring the Old Calendarists
schismatics. He also allows his faithful
to go to services and receive communion in the Serbian Patriarchate even if he
considers some if its hierarchy heretics.
