Cult Abuse

General Abuse

Financial Misconduct

Sanctioned

The Orthodox Church has its own system for disciplining both abusive individuals and those who engage in sexual misconduct, that is, behavior which is inconsistent with the teachings of Orthodoxy on sexuality.

Spiritual courts do not operate according to the same principals and procedures as American criminal justice. Nevertheless, these courts have their own set of standards and are a time honored method for determining moral guilt. Accordingly, we include information about those individuals who have been sanctioned in spiritual court for abuse or for misconduct.

We have also included in this section those Orthodox who were accused in spiritual court of abuse or misconduct but who refused to submit themselves to the court. In those cases, the individual has been sanctioned for disobedience, with no decision rendered on the underlying charges. Obviously, this means that the spiritual court did not make a determination concerning moral guilt.

Please read each file carefully to determine whether the individual was sanctioned for abuse, for sexual misconduct or for disobedience.

We strive for accuracy. Consequently, if you have information contrary to what is posted here, please share that information with us. You can expedite the correction process by providing documentation to support your contention.
