information you care to provide. This page is not meant as a put down of
any individual. We are concerned that people may be misled to believe they
are receiving valid sacraments when they are not. Some listed on these
pages also according to our files never had valid orders but to the best
of our knowledge those listed above continue to claim to be valid and
continue to ordain and/or consecrate and claim to be valid "Orthodox"
clergy but are not. |
