According to the Diocesan Resolution of His Eminence Metropolitan Valentine, No. 49, dated March 7, 2004, the petition of Hieromonk Elia of the Burning Bush Hermitage in Mississippi to enter the ROAC has been denied. This denial is due to his violations of ecclesiastical order. He is not part, and never has been part, of the ROAC.
Therefore, it should be noted that all websites (4 in number) established by Fr. Elia with the name of the Russian Orthodox Autonomous Church (ROAC/AROC) on them and linked to Fr. Elia's Burning Bush website are not to be considered in any way connected with the Russian Orthodox Autonomous Church. Everything within those websites (and, specifically, those unorthodox statements about the Jerusalem Patriarchate, about Islam, about the Taliban, and his unacceptable ideas about Orthodoxy in general) is only the fabrication of his own mind.
