Who Is ALFRED GREEN - of http://aggreen.net

http://aggreen.net/other_orthodox/other.html
Who is the REAL ALFRED GREEN - What sort of a man is the famous keeper of the page: 
"Religious Groups That Use  
'Orthodox' in Their Names
But Are Not Canonical
Eastern Orthodox Churches"
For years I thought Alfred Green was merely a simple minded and misguided soul on a mission; I kept him in my prayers even though 24 hours a day, 7 days a week he slanders us with his webpage.  But rather than being a light of orthodox correctness and a man trying in his simple way to share his faith and guide others, he is quite another fellow. 

He engaged me on my personal facebook page, pushing his Republican Party brand of "correctness."  We had never before conversed about anything, person to person, except on three different occasions over a period of fourteen years, where upon I politely requested he remove our name from his list, or to list it properly, and was each time rebuffed with a scoff.  In a short six minute exchange, on my personal face book page, he cursed me in front of my wife, my children, my grand children and some 1000+ other friends, relatives and acquaintances. 

Here is the exchange; I think it is very telling. 





For a period of fourteen years, Alfred Green has operated a smear campaign against any religious group he decided was not orthodox, according a very narrow definition of Orthodoxy. The implication of his pages was always the groups listed were "fraudulent" and usurping the name Orthodox from the Eastern Orthodox Church. 


His page is entitled, FRAUDULENTLY, 
"Religious Groups That Use  
'Orthodox' in Their Names
But Are Not Canonical
Eastern Orthodox Churches"


For this definition of non-orthodox to have been true and real he would have had to list some of the very oldest Orthodox Churches in the world, churches that trace their founding to that first generation of Apostles, like Great Coptic Church of Egypt, The Great Malabar Orthodox Church of India, The Ethiopian Orthodox Church, and a host of others.  Even though he stated his claim many, many times that his goal was to list every organization not in "canonical union" with SCOBA - the standing council of orthodox bishops in america - in practice he only listed groups in the U.S. some who are Orthodox and some who are not. 


He has for more than a decade listed The Brotherhood of Orthodox Servants of Jesus on his list as "other" meaning not Orthodox, even though he would not list our bishop on the list anywhere.  Our bishop is a fifth generation Orthodox Priest and son of a Ukrainian Orthodox Martyr, who at this point in time is more than fifty years an Orthodox Priest, and more than forty years an Orthodox Bishop and a founding member of SCOBA.  The duplicity of this fellow Al Green, is that he will not list our Bishop as 'other than orthodox' because he knows that is not so.  Yet, he will list our ministry, canonically received by our Bishop, as "other than orthodox." This is shameful and a lie and has been for fourteen year. 


Until Allfred Green, chose to curse me in front of my family, I was willing to leave Allfred Green to his own misery.  But from now on when anyone searches for his name, or his site, they will also find this page. What I've posted is here Allfred Green, In his own words.
