The New McCarthyism
By Michael W. Davis
Today, a delegation of Orthodox clergy will meet with the White House to plead on behalf of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC). Yet mainstream media outlets like The Hill and politicians like Rep. Joe Wilson are dismissing the effort as a Kremlin psyop. This is offensive to the UOC, and to Orthodox Christians here in the United States.

In addition to Congressman Joe Wilson, Republican Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska, and Republican Rep. Austin Scott of Georgia also signed the letter to Pam Bondi, which demanded that our government investigate ROCOR and "other Russian Orthodox churches" as being sources of Russian espionage, all because a pan Orthodox delegation met with government officials to ask them to do something about the Ukrainian government (which depends on our support) stop persecuting the innocent people of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Orthodox Christians in Nebraska and Georgia need to call their offices, and let them know you don't appreciate their support for the persecution of innocent people.

Hello Folks,
We had a Bible Study Scheduled tonight, but I have a bad cough that will probably make the Bible Study unpleasant to attend, and me trying to talk for an hour probably won't help me kick this cough.
Unfortunately, because of a number of factors, but especially house blessing season, we will have to put the Bible Study on the back burner until the second week of Lent (March 3rd),
In Christ,
Archpriest John Whiteford
