Disappointment and Lies No Release for Archbishop Jovan on 19 January 2012! by Very Reverend Archimandrite Nektarios Serfes, President of The Archbishop Jovan Fund USA The Lord hear thee in the day of affiction... Psalm 19:1. Why no release of Archbishop Jovan we do not know as we must endure this great disappointment for the Archbishop himself, his brother Bishops, priest, monks, nuns, and faithful. We have to keep our faith that no release today but that we still might see another day of the Archbishop release. What are the excuses? What have you don to keep the Archbishop in jail? What shall be the fate of the Archbishop be in the days ahead or does anyone care? How long shall the Archbishop endure due also to his health? The highest of earthly levels of the good Patriarchs, the good fellow Orthodox bishops around the world, the priest who cried out in constant prayers, and the monks and the nuns as well as the faithful to our Lord have called upon you to release the Archbishop.When shall you hear our voices we ask the courts and those responsible because we all know the Archbishop is innocent and just, as well as a man of God. Let us now continue to pray as we shall endure with love for God and for one another, but at the same time shall we be patient. This is our Christian responsibility. May our Lord God be merciful to us and our strength. section: archbishop\announcements 19.01.2015 Announcement The Council of the Court of First Instance Skopje I, on January 9, 2015, made the decision that Archbishop Jovan of Ohrid and Metropolitan of Skopje should be released from prison. Last week, the Public Prosecution issued a written statement that it will not file an appeal against that court decision for releasing of Archbishop Jovan from prison. Today, when it is a public holiday and a non-working day in R. Macedonia, the Public Prosecution has altered its stance, and through the media informed the public that it has indeed filed an appeal against the mentioned court decision, exactly on this day. Hence, Archbishop Jovan was not released from prison today, in the foreseen time-period, despite the fact that there has been a court decision for his release.
