Dear SMC Team,

The Lord bless you and encourage you in your bid to maintain unity between the college and the diocese.

Mr Fayez Hanania should be applauded for his display of dignity and righteousness in breaking ties with the AXIS of EVIL.

His departure and dis association with this sect is a reflection of his decency and spirituality. His decision to part company from the evil mob will be rewarded. Please do not judge him for his past errors, but rather

a celebration of his return to the flock of Jesus Christ.

We look upon Mr Fayez Hanania as the prodigal son or the lost sheep.

Mr Fayez Hanania heaven rejoices tremendously to the return of a lost soul, welcome back and God bless you for your decision.

We all pray that WAHID AZMY would never be allowed to have any association with the diocese in light of his track record for been dis functional, abrupt, and rude. HGBD certainly would not want any association with this individual. Unless the other member of AXIS OF EVIL want to return to the flock, It would be a good idea for them "axis of evil" to all move to the Harris Park multi denominational church started by WAHID AZMY and his rejected associates. They may then commence a new college and have full control of it to cater for their future grand children.

NO existing COPTIC COLLEGE will ever be separated from the diocese.

What God has united no man shall divide.

We pray for their lost souls, driven by ambition and ego very far from the word of God. We beseech them to pack up and leave ALL the colleges alone and allow the community to praise God in fear rather than focus their energy on defending this great institution "THE DIOCESE" from evil that is within.

Our Lord Jesus will not allow the axis of evil to thrive, he will DESTROY it brick by brick (man by man).

Mr Fayez Hanania we wish you all the very best for your future, and will always recall all the time and effort you have put into the diocese in particular the planning and catering for the visitations of His Holiness. We call upon you as the rising star, to reason with the other members of the AXIS OF EVIL, and encourage them to return to the flock, rather than be the wolves savaging the flock from with in.

GOD BLESS YOU Mr Fayez Hanania. Jesus will reward you.

On Behalf of St Marks Congregation.

Fayez Hanania; the first of the AOE to go..

مبارك الرب لانه سمع صوت تضرعي

مز ٦:٢٨

Blessed [be] the LORD, Because He has heard the voice of my supplications!

Psa 28:6

Exclusive to SMC Rescue;

We have received a report that Mr Fayez Hanania (3rd on the AOE's list) has formally tendered his resignation from any duties with the Diocese of Sydney and Affiliated Regions.

We wish Mr Hanania the best for the future.

Despite he was the weakest link, we are looking forward to see the back of the rest of the AOE as well. Amen.

Amir Hanna; If this does not make you cry, you are a true EVIL!!!

Dr Medhat Gurgis, Thank you for finally completing and signing off on the financial status for the dioceses and HGBD, it has taken you months to finalise and was a ploy to delay his return!!!

Dr Medhat Gurgis, when are you as "SECRETARY" of the diocese going to reveal that the financial status was found to be 100% correct?

Dr Medhat Gurgis, ARE YOU GOING TO REMAIN AS SECRETARY?
Dr Medhat Gurgis, are you going to state that the allegations of Uncle "A" 's, Nazmy Antonios, Haney Gayed and their anonymous friends using "DUMMY" email accounts were all wrong, fabricated and designed to mislead the community?
Dr Medhat Gurgis, when are you and your wife going to apologise for the allegations you made relating to Volume Plus and HGBD, and all the other matters YOU raised?
Dr Medhat Gurgis,

When are the audit reports with the findings into the THREE colleges going to be disclosed?

(They were completed half a year ago)

.....

Uncle "A", when are you and your loud mouth disciple Haney Gayed going to apologise for the accusations levelled against HGBD and Father Yousef as revealed in the telephone conversation that was previously posted? On that note, UNCLE”A”, we hope you followed it up with the police as you threatened to do with respect of the alleged illegal telephone recording that you were so concerned about. As you are fully aware you can make a complaint to CRIME STOPPERS.
UNCLE”A” are you going to keep your word and stay away from the diocese when HGBD returns?
UNCLE”A”, are you going to stand down from the role of Sunday school superintendent? UNCLE”A”, we consider the vast majority of the community reject you having any association with the diocese in light of your recent exposure? Do you agree???

Haney Gayed, "the umbrella bearer", & "Loud Mouth" are you going to continue to use the school for political exposure and gains? I do not think you will get any support from the Coptic Community.
Haney Gayed are you going to apologise for the outrages allegations you put in writing and sent to Egypt about HGBD behind the scenes?

Fayeze Hanania do you still think it is appropriate you have any involvement in the diocese when HGBD returns, considering your association with the AOE?

Father Antonios, are you going to continue in the college?
Father Antonios we remind you that Father Yousef was a Gentleman, and stepped aside when the AOE set him up, this is despite the fact he had done nothing wrong at all.

"Uncle A", are you going to apologise for scare mongering Father Augustine away, after he was decreed by HGBD to be the director of the college, so as to pave the way for Father Antonios, with the aid of Bishop Bishoy.

.....

To, Mr Khairy Grace, of the PVA, have you and your MEMBERS Especially JOE finally accepted the findings of Bishop Bishoy relating to Father Pavlos? Are you going to continue to vindicate this persecuted man? Looks like all your meetings, threats and words are meaningless and you have bitterly failed, YOU FAILED!!! Are you now supporting BISHOP BISHOY, after you openly stated he was corrupt and persecuted Father Pavlos? Why the change of HEART? There is clearly a lot of Hypocrisy, wheeling and dealing, and back office negotiating taking place? It is no surprise all those opposed to HGBD have banded together to destroy this simple and persecuted man.

Finally, we as a community hope that you all consider your future association with the diocese; this includes all the side kick named as members of the Axis of Evil.

A TRUE COPT.

A Message to Father Antonios, Amir Hanna, Medhat Gurgis, & other members.

We are Coptic Orthodox, we all have an obligation to protect and build our church in every possible way, not to dismantle it. Under no circumstance should we do anything to take away from the value of the Coptic orthodox name and reputation.

We as Copts are taught we DO NOT fight amongst ourselves. When we are in dispute, we adapt the church laws, starting with the teachings of Jesus Christ as contained in the manual of life, “THE HOLY BIBLE”.

Every one of you are fully aware of the process for raising a concern.

If you are unhappy with the result, pull out your mighty sword, "PRAYER". TRUE COPTS do not resort to underhanded, ungodly, unchristian, evil tactics.

Father Antonios, you are very aware of Coptic Church law. You give wonderful sermons, and you write very well. We acknowledge you are an intelligent and educated man.

Why then do you want to remove and break up the colleges away from the diocese?

Father it is clear, your personal opinion is more important than the church laws? Father if you can not work for a college under the diocese, please go do something else, you are a talented man. But do not go against long held church laws because you are dissatisfied.

To the steering committee members and their side supporters,As "LEADERS" of the Coptic diocese of Sydney,

you have all let us as a community down, and set a bad example.

Whether your motives are Right or wrong I can not comment. I can say you have allowed your PERSONAL concerns and views to diminish the value, reputation, and esteem of the Coptic Church in Sydney. As a group you have shown No regard or concern for the integrity of the Coptic Church or the well being of the community and especially the youth. In order to obtain your objectives, we the community have watched all of you resorting to every possible tactic, with godly or not. You have directly attacked HGBD in the media, via EGYPT NEWS, emails, rumours, letters, secret meetings, plotting and scheming and you have even made up stories to brain wash the community.

Now we have a Coptic College where a priest,

placed a picture of a woman, in place of the picture of HGBD,

for all to view when they attend the college office.

Father this is an insult to Christ himself, the Holy spirit, and to the Coptic name.

To ALL of you, THIS IS NOT AN ATTACK ON ANY PERSON in any way. However if we accept you as you are, we will only allow you to get worse. But if we treat you, as if, you are, what you are capable of becoming, it is because we only want you to become that. We are doing it out of love, Like a parent does to a child, Like a teacher to a student, Like a priest to a confessor, Like a brother to brother. Our desire, is that you become what Christ desired you to be. Like the glowing light of a bright candle. The soothing warmth of a fire's glow, We want you to brighten every corner, not cast a dark shadow. We simply ask you to consider our points of view, we want to be united as Coptic Christians, as god's children, not as enemies. We want no hatred or division amongst us.

If you are unable to work with and love HGBD, and your dislike towards HGBD is that strong, please do the right thing and step away from the diocese.

HGBD is a bishop, Medhat you and your wife are doctors, Amir and Fayez you are both govt employees. Just as you have full time jobs, HGBD has a full time job,

He is our Bishop.

There is no choice, we appreciate all you have done in the past, but you have no claim to the diocese.

The diocese belongs to Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit has selected HGBD as trustee till the end of his days. HH Pope Shenouda III, selected and anointed HGBD, He laid his blessed and holy hands upon him and wed him to the diocese of Sydney.

We totally reject and abhor any one resorting to underhanded tactics. It is not what is preached from the pulpits in the Coptic Orthodox churches.

It is time to work on unity and the return of HGBD.

A FRIEND IN JESUS

Father ANT, (as you like to call yourself),

Your last news letter spoke about honesty righteousness etc.

Father you wrote the posted email with full knowledge that it would cause major division in our church. You have blamed everyone for the division but you accept no responsibility yourself, Why?

Is it the Coptic way to publicly and openly attack a Bishop, despite the fact by your own admissions you went to Egypt but was dissatisfied with their response?

Father Ant why did you address the letter to "IBRAHIM",(ibstar01@hotmail.com)?
What role does he have in the church?
Why didn’t you send it directly to HGBD? Infact why didn’t you send it to him at all?

What did you mean by your last statement to “IBRAHIM”, be part of the solution and not the problem? Did "Ibrahim cause you any problem(s)?

You refer to George Attalah the unknown, Father Mikhail knows him very very well!!! Did you think to ask Father Mikhail???

Are you going to acknowledge your own errors?

Father Ant, you knew about the decree appointing you to our college before it came out, infact you conversed directly with Bishop Bishoy. At the time you stipulated that you would return to the college as long it had no association with the diocese, and Bishop Bishoy agreed.

Was that the reward for writing your email?

Father Ant, did you consider the views of the college parents and students? Or was it your own needs that come first?

Father ANT what gave you the right to remove the picture of HGBD off the wall? Father Ant what were you thinking when you replaced it with a picture of an Asian lady?

Who is this lady?
Do we worship her?
Father ANT, how dare you place a picture of an ASIAN lady next to the picture of our LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST, and HH?

You restored the picture of HGBD only after the disgust shown by a member of the congregation yesterday, and father George had the nerve to say the picture of HGBD was never there.

Yet your email talks about dividing the church and body of Christ, Father Ant make no mistake it is you that has divided the church, and we will not allow you to divide our college and separate it from the diocese.

Father ANT if you do not like it pack up and leave all the staff, students and parents alone.

I suggest you re read your own email and start been truthful with yourself.
Your actions have not harmed his grace, it has harmed you.
Your email is full of contradictions and hypocrisy.

Father Ant, you WERE a much loved and respected Priest, but you have fallen under the spell of UNCLE "A" and destroyed your good standing in the community.

We pray for you, and for your repentance and salvation.
Father ANT, I am sad that I as a layman has to point out all these faults of yours, however you set the example the day you took it upon yourself to attack and try to point out flaws in HGBD, all this despite your statement that you personally don't have much to complain.

Your email is a contradictory mystery, initiated on behalf of UNCLE 'A" and with the blessing of Bishop Bishoy. It is time for you to undo the damage you have caused, to the church, the congregation, the college, and the good name of the clergy.

However we still respect that you are still a priest and if our lord can forgive you, who are we to refuse forgiveness. Father I am now asking you to start been part of the solution rather than continue been part of the problem and puppet for UNCLE "A" and his gang.

Father Ant I am trying to be honest with you, so do not be offended and pray for us.

A frustrated and aggrieved member of the church.

Re: “Looking Forward to the Past”.. (1)

It is very hard to find somebody who disagrees with HH Pope Kyrollos VI, right? Wrong!!

The attached document is a news report which was published on 21 April 1967 by El-Ahram Centre for organization and IT*.

Translation;

Serious conflict between Pope Kyrollos and The General Lay Council.

Deficit in the budge disables the Patriarchate to pay staff wages

1) Following HH’s enthronement on 10 May 1959, he reorganized the churches of Cairo and Alexandria and established committees to mange and audit their financial affairs to guarantee and prevent any financial deviation. The General Lay Council saw this action in its terms of reference and considered HH's actions as interference in its terms of reference.

2) HH spent more than 50,000 LE on building St Mina’s Monastery in Mariout. The GLC's view was that there were 10 monasteries in Egypt and there was no need for more.

3) The Pope spent the money inherited from the reposed Bishops/ Metropolitans (approx. 20,000 LE which HH inherited according to the church laws) on building St Mina’s Monastery in Mariout, which The GLC disagreed with him on.

4) The GLC initiated the restoration of the Great Cathedral and paid the builder 3,000 LE only. They failed to honor the remainder of the contract amount of 27,000 LE. When the builder stopped working, The GLC refuge to HH to help from his financial allocations. The Pope refused until he replaced the builder with another. The GLC saw some of the restoration operations unacceptable and they considered the way the project was handled a challenge to The GLC.

5) HH requested from the GLC to deliver the yelled of the properties that was endowed to him. A request that was rejected by The GLC claiming that all incomes must be deposited in the Patriarchate’s safe and The GLC spend from it on the various projects.

6) HH decreed to move the department responsible for issuing and registering certificates of engagements and weddings to the Papal residency. All fees collected (approx. annual total of 3,000 LE) to be deposited in the Papal residency’s safe instead of the cathedral’s safe. Same applied to offerings of the Great Cathedral and saints’ festivals. This resulted in a big deficit in the cathedral’s budget.

Those disagreements led to HH refrained from attending the meeting of The GLC despite that he is the chairperson. HH informed members of The GLC that all their past and future decisions will considered illegitimate.

End of translation

Can you see the similarity between events of 1967 and 2009?

Back then we had Yousef Saad and his gang.

Doesn’t he look like Amir Hanna?!

Please have another look at his photo (printed next to HH's photo) by pressing on the document to enlarge it.

We have Amir Hanna in every age and era!!

If their ancestors have done so to HH Pope Kyrollos VI,

what would we expect they would do to Bishop Daniel?!

The saint of our modern days HH Pope Kyrollos VI is in the history books with letters of light. Does anybody remember Yousef Saad or any of his gang?!

As the earlier arrogant laymen went down the history bin,

make no mistake, it will be our mission that today's ones face the same fate!

It is our promise to the trio, count on it..

* El-Ahram is the most respected national newspaper in Egypt and very reliable source of news.

Does anybody hear us? Does anybody care??

His Holiness Pope Shenouda III is known for his firmness:

During Wednesday’s lecture on 30/9/2009; HH was very firm in his response to a question about one girl carried the Eucharistic Bread Basket during the Offertory in the mass and participated in some of the mass readings. HH explained that the church does not allow it and that the priest who allowed this incident should be penalized. News report by Copts United on Thursday 1/10/2009 http://copts-united.com/article.php?I=217&A=8054

HE Metropolitan Bishoy is also known for his firmness:

During the Orthodox Dogma Convention 2009; HE criticized the Egyptian Government for sentencing Fr Metaaos Abas Wahby for 5 years in jail for wrongly convicting him with forgery. He was very firm in saying his suitcase is ready since September 1981 (in reference to his own imprisonment in Sadat’s era). HE said “this priest has to be released”. News report by Copts United on Thursday 1/10/2009 http://copts-united.com/article.php?I=217&A=8060

• Does the firmness of our church hierarchy stop at Amir Hanna and his gang?!

• Is Amir Hanna’s family relationship with HE protecting him as he claims?

• Does Dr Medhat Girgis’ direct communication with HH because of his early generous contribution to the Diocese make him unstoppable?

• Does Fayez Hanania’s direct contact with HH since he organized all HH’s past visits to Australia make him untouchable?

• We know that everything published on this blog reaches Egypt. Are these people that powerful?!

What do we need to do

to attract your attention?!

Is there anything more important than our children our future generations?!

Your Holiness and Your Eminence; please forgive us for our frustration..

Noah and the ark

Some people like to use this argument that the trio (Dr Medhat Girgis, Fayez Hanania and Amir Hanna) and others have contributed great deal to the Diocese before it had a Bishop. As such they have extra rights to dictate and control.

Please refer to the document published by Amir Hanna named;

"Amir and brief history of the Diocese of Sydney"

by using this link http://www.coptichistory.org/new_page_7240.htm.

This is very much like the story of Noah.

"You are like the carpenters, the blacksmiths and the workers who helped Noah build the ark. Noah, his family and all the animals entered, but the carpenters and workers did not enter. They made the ark for those who would enjoy it, but deprived themselves of salvation."
