Dear fr. Siluan you look like Vladimir Moss' spokesman in this forum.
Fistly, how did you know about this internal document of Guildford parish?
Secondly,what good did you achieve by the publication of this letter, except only to spread widely the slanders against fr. Akakije?
Thirdly, from which point of Alexandros' letter did you understand his pride?

Vladimir e-mailed it to certain people, including myself.
That fact that you got it, is a factual statement,
and does not anser any of the questions that Savva asked.
Additionally, just because someone received a letter that was addressed to the Parishioners of St Michael,
that does not mean that they should post it on the web.
As history clearly showed that was not a smart move to do.
Father Siluan and Vladimir caused a lot of reputational damage to Fr/Bp Akakije
and to themselves by "exposing" the content of a letter that Vladimir should not have written.
So before judging people as "proud", maybe Fr Silhuan should read Matthew 7:5
(You hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of your own eye;
and then shall you see clearly to cast out the mote out of your brother's eye.)

Yes, my answer to the question was a factual statement. I try not to answer questions with non-factual statements, although I don't always succeed.
And my post does in fact partly answer one of Sava's questions, namely how did Fr Siluan get hold of the letter. Sava assumed that this letter was circulated only amongst parishioners and was therefore suspicious about how Fr Siluan came by it. My post showed that there is no call for suspicion since the author of the letter himself sent it to various non-parishioners such as myself, though I can't say for certain if Fr Siluan was one of the recipients. I would be surprised if he were not a recipient, but I'll let him answer for himself, just as I'll let him answer the other questions.

Thank you, Alexandros. Likewise keep me in your prayers and forgive me if I was a little sarcastic.
For some reason, Reader Vladimir wanted to be this letter a open one, you should know about it.
As for Bp. Akakije, I think it is a joke, to accuse Vladimir or me of "causing a lot of reputational damage" to him, when it was ALWAYS YOUR WORK here and in other sites on Internet.
