Very often, when entering the School (Church), people somehow want to see the steward and talk to him (the priest), and not the Principal, Vice-Principal, or any of the Teachers (that is, Christ and Christ’s Spirit-bearers: apostles (fathers – apostolic men), teachers, prophets)!? And by the moral state of the steward (to whom, in most cases, the Principal has no relation (He says to him (the steward-priest): “I do not know you!”): for the steward is chosen by the people and placed on this police, disciplinary, mechanical, in the flesh ministry by people, not God! Much should not be demanded from the steward; it is desirable to choose one with the least temptation for pagans, so that the name of Christ is less blasphemed, that is, so that he is not an alcoholic, fornicator (and not “blue”), not a brawler-murderer; but now, for example, in the UOC KP, there are very few stewards who do not fall under these prohibitions-restrictions!) they judge the Church of Christ, the School, and the educational process in It, about the power of the Holy Spirit!? Therefore, having come to the church, ask Christ, not the priest – the priest should be avoided at all costs (the priest – not the presbyter! The presbyter knows the essence of his ministry and does not substitute his fleshly (in truth and ascetic humility) ministry for the spiritual, in the Holy Spirit, which only God’s anointed ones (= Christians) accomplish by the Holy Spirit! Therefore, communicate with the presbyters – they will show you the way to Christ and will not try to replace Christ with themselves!), because he is a servant of the antichrist, who pushes people away from the path of Christ!

Great is the woe when the hierarchy not only does not care about the unity of the faithful of the parish, the diocese but, on the contrary, hinders any manifestations of unity coming from below, even slightly organic – initiated by the faithful! The slogan, the ideology of such “pious”-priests, apostolic “successors” (“inheritors”) – “save yourself!” “everyone for himself!” – extreme individualism, atomization of the body into a heap of sand! Woe to such a church-community, in which priests-criminals operate! Is the plaster-hierarchy needed?! Yes, where there is decay – the plaster creates conditions (possibility) for the healing of the organism; the plaster does not heal, it only mechanically serves the body, the organic healing process – they use splints, threads, plasters to mechanically hold bones, tendons, muscles, tissues tightly, as close to each other as possible, so that it is easier to grow together, heal and, becoming a single whole, no longer need plaster, metal plates, screws, staples, threads, etc.! But woe when the body (leg, arm…) in plaster is called normal, healthy condition! And double woe when those who are responsible for the “production” and application of plasters (priests-stewards, hierarchy) hinder the healing of the body, the manifestation of any conciliarity, because then, when the healing happens, their services will no longer be needed! In the parish-family-Eucharist, the steward (bishop, presbyter) is no longer a lord, but a brother among brothers and sisters! And when he wants to serve, he serves as the last, as a slave! But priests (especially from dynastic “clans”: where grandfathers are priests, father is a priest, uncles (uncle) are priests, brothers are priests… and I am a priest too!?) will never agree to this! Therefore, they are not interested in the healing of the body, the healing of organs – because then crutches and plasters will become unnecessary, and priests will need to earn their bread by another profession (and not by the pagan selling of so-called needs). In the family-Eucharist there are no lords, in the family-parish all serve everyone with the gift revealed-distributed by the Holy Spirit to each member of this Body-parish. Father, mother in the family are not lords, but slaves (tenderly loving), who serve the children, putting all their soul into them! The Parish-Eucharist is a family, and the more power-responsibility one has, the more one serves. Priests will never voluntarily go to this – they are lords! fathers! teachers! priests!, and not members of the family, not brothers… they are special, not like everyone else, they are above the people of God (and, poor things, do not understand that only plaster is above the body, which has nothing to do with the Kingdom of God – the Eucharist, the Life of the Body – that is, he (the priest-steward-lord) is outside the Body, outside the Church; therefore, do not boast of uniqueness, dissimilarity (not like others), but on the contrary, repent with tears and become an organic member of the Body – the Parish-Eucharist, from a father – a brother, from a lord – a slave, servant, from a teacher – a student-catechumen, a fellow student to brothers and sisters of the Parish-Eucharist, the family in which he was baptized with tearful repentance; and what will be the spiritual (in the Holy Spirit) ministry of the former steward in the body – the Holy Spirit will determine!). We will also say that the special clothes of the priest are the special clothes of the steward (servant, slave), not the lord, priest, so it should remind him and the faithful of who serves whom, not who is lord over whom! Therefore, if there is a difference (not ontological, in the understanding of the exclusivity of the priesthood of priests – it does not exist) between ministries in the church, it is not for the benefit of the exaltation of the priest (steward), but on the contrary, it emphasizes his lowest (mechanical, external, temporary) ministry (unlike organic-bodily, eternal ministries).
