This appeal was posted on Facebook by a dear friend of mine who is a former convert and now an OCA priest. He ministers in Williamsport PA. I know him and trust him.

Please consider helping this priest to get out of his situation.

do you know Fr Ambrose?

No. I know Fr. Seraphim (formerly David Reynolds) who posted the request on Facebook. He was a member of my BCC parish at St. Ann's for years and we became good friends. He is one of about a dozen men who have done what we call "Crossed the Locust." By that, we mean that they went across the street from St. Ann's BCC to Christ the Savior OCA which is, literally, across Locust Lane in Harrisburg. Fr. Seraphim because a priest, there is Fr. Deacon John Shingera, my very good friend, Reader James Kushlan (and his wonderful wife, Heidi, who wouldn't become BCC because she "couldn't accept that Papal Infallibility thing." and several others. All in all, about a dozen of us formerly from St. Ann's.

I called Fr. Seraphim last year after my chrismation and told him I had "doxxed." He said it was the best Pascha present ever!
