National leaders of the Russian Orthodox Church are ordering Alaska Bishop Nikolai Soraich to take a leave of absence, and say they will investigate him for improper leadership. The announcement was made this afternoon. According to a posting on the ‘Orthodox Church of America’ website, Bishop Nikolai refused to voluntarily go on leave, which led to today’s mandatory order.

I was raised in the Orthodox Church and left 20 years ago – I am agnostic and happy. I am a proud gay man and the Orthodox Church does not allow for such practice. That said, the Orthodox Church is being “punked” by two closeted homosexuals (Nikolay & Isodore) who desperately need pscychological treatment. Repression is a bitch.
