The Bishop only becomes the superior by fully and completely being the servant, yet without wavering from God.

A BISHOP MUST

A Bishop must, absolutely must, regard each of his Priests as and to be his brother, treat each as his brother, respect each as his brother, acknowledge each as his brother, love each as his brother, and be a brother to each. Only then is it possible for a Priest to, if the Bishop is deserving, not only reciprocate, but actually acknowledge, regard, treat, love, and respect the Bishop as a his superior.

If an individual who has been consecrated Bishop does not these things, the consecration is not without effect, but the Bishop is. He is without Text Box: worth. He is without good effect, and incapable of fulfilling his duty. It would have been better for him had he never been consecrated.

He need not be their bosom buddy or close friend. He need not like each of them, nor need each of them like him.

But brothers come from the same stock, from the same family, from the same parents, from the same culture, from the same environment. Just as no one brother is superior to another by right of birth, so too is a Bishop not superior to a Priest by some accident of birth for both are born in Christ.

Nor is a Bishop superior by the quality of Divine Right claimed by Kings and Text Box: It must be a terrible thing to awaken in the morning and realize you are not Irish. (Now I’ve got the Greeks angry with me.)
Text Box: ST. MARY MAGDALENE NEWS
St. Mary Magdalene Orthodox Church
125 Hartsie Drive - 150 Angell Lane
Waveland, Mississippi 39576

St. Mary Magdalene was destroyed by hurricane Katrina. There are no buildings or trees remaining on the property. A good natural setting is very important for maximum benefit to be derived from a spiritual retreat facility - the prime use of Saint Mary Magdalene was as a retreat house and our Mother House. That retreat house setting will require many years to re-establish at Saint Mary Magdalene.

We have therefore decided to sell the land, which is approximately one acre, composed of two adjacent lots, one being approximately 100 feet by 350 feet, the other being approximately 40 feet by 100 feet, situated approximately 550 feet from the beach of the Gulf of Mexico. (See  the area outlined in bold in the above survey map. The survey map is not in true proportion due to the printing process.)

We have listed the property with Coldwell Banker Alfonso Realty, (228) 467-0244, agent Bobby Compretta, (228) 216-7197, for $99,000.00. Inquiries should be directed to the real estate company or agent.

We would have rebuilt if the forest on the property had not been destroyed. We hope to establish another retreat house upon sale of the property.
