As a half British half Canadian convert to True Orthodox Christianity (on the Patristic or Old Calendar) baptized near Patras, Greece, I am appalled, though not surprised. Orthodoxy or Death! Orthodoxia I Thanatos. It reminds me of the violation of Orthodox rights after the Alaska purchase. Pray to St. Peter the Aleut, martyred by the Spanish inquisition for refusing forced conversion to the Apollinarian Papist Romanist heresy in San Francisco in 1815.

Religious liberty is a basic constitutional right.
Also, any threat against any and all people who have love for their culture and religious beliefs is unacceptable.

The orthodox christian faith is the original apostolic faith, and I sincerely hope that those who are deciding on this case do historical research. Also, we have religious freedom in this country, the greek father is doing a wonderful job of transmitting the orthodox faith.

Quoting (from body of petition itself): "This is a situation that we cannot afford to ignore!
It is not simply a threat on the religious liberties of Orthodox Christians alone, it’s a threat against any and all people who have a deep love and respect for their culture and religious beliefs, whatever those may be. " (End of Quote)

Highly disconcerting that he is being denied adequate and equal opportunity to defend himself and be defended. There appears to be a clear agenda here and it is not to uphold justice and truth.

Freedom of religion? What gives? That's ridiculous. Orthodoxy has been around alot longer than the region of the Judge; it's a simple matter of following history.

This is so sad. Keeping this father and daughter in each other's lives should be the main goal.
