У К А З

Ввиду того, что Василий Лурье (бывший иеромонах Григорий, принадлежащий к Российской Православной Автономной Церкви) продолжает свои кощунственные служения (по архиерейскому чину) отлучен от Российской Православной Автономной Церкви. Аще кто дерзнет вместе с ним молиться, или «сослужить» ему, да будет извержен из сана, а мирские, да будут отлучен от Святого Причастия.

Inasmuch as Vasily Lourye (the former Hieromonk Gregory of the Russian Orthodox Autonomous Church) has continued to perform his blasphemous services (even serving as if he were a bishop), he is excommunicated (expelled) from the Russian Orthodox Autonomous Church. Whoever dares to pray together with him, or to "concelebrate" with him, let him be deposed from office, or if he is a layman, let him be deprived of Holy Communion.

Since there was some confusion on another forum I posted this at, I wanted to post this clarification I posted there in case there is any confusion here.

The UKAZ I was asked to post was not about Former-Archbishop Gregory (George-Abu Asaly) His suspension, retirement, and excommunication documents from 1994 can be found at the following URLs:

1. http://www.roacusa.org/Ukaz130.htm

2. http://www.roacusa.org/Protocol48.htm

3. http://www.roacusa.org/2004Protocol49.htm

   This latest UKAZ is about the former ROCA monk in Saint Petersburg, Russia, Gregory (Lourye). He was deposed last year. These documents can be found at the following URLs:

4. http://www.roacusa.org/ukases/67.pdf

5. http://www.roacusa.org/ukases/69.pdf

6. http://www.roacusa.org/ukases/67-69.pdf

   It appears that because he had continued to serve after his deposition, he was excommunicated, and that is what the UKAZ that I was asked to forward to the list was about. I hope that clears up any confusion!
