Recently discovered about "Andy" Andrei Brennan. Here is another of his ill-fated campus ministries at University of Windsor, ON, at http://brc.uwindsor.ca/UnivServ/CampusMinistry/christ.htm last modified April 4, 1996 Christ (Old) Catholic Church in Canada St. Patrick's Mission Chaplain The Rev'd Shawn P[atrick]. [Andrei] Brennan Phone: Business [519] 252-5614 Lay Warden: Mr. Patrick Rose Phone: Business [519] 253-7669 [disconnected] The Old Catholic Movement provides a church home for those people without a denominational affiliation. All people are welcome to attend and receive the Sacraments, regardless of race, colour, creed, intellectual beliefs/doubts, sex, or sexual orientation. The focus is on communal worship in a welcoming, non-judgemental environment. Christ Catholic Church is the third-largest Old Catholic body in North America. It combines traditional liturgy (similar to Anglican and Roman) with a liberal theological worldview. Both the Chapain and Warden are fellow students, and are sensitive to your needs. Sunday Mass is held at 2:00 p.m. on the first floor of Iona College, 208 Sunset Avenue. If you have any questions, or would like to talk, contact Shawn or Patrick. --->Orthodox Church of Canada is headed by the allegedly dead, now mysteriously alive, Andrei Brennan, since 4/22/99 at http://www.occna.com/md/admin/synod.html . --->The Canadian Orthodox Monastery of the Annunciation - New Pechersk - Orthodox Church of Canada is also headed by the same allegedly dead, now mysteriously alive, Andrei Brennan, since 4/22/99 at http://www.churchsurf.com/host/canada/new_pechersk/index.html --->From www.occna.com/md/mission/stherman.html (Last Modified: Sunday, April 25, 1999): PLEASE PRAY FOR: Metr.

Upon the advice of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police - Hate Crimes
Unit, I am giving you precisely one warning:
You will not under any circumstances send e-mail to this or any other
account in use by our Church, or by any clergyman or member of our
church. Failure to abide by this requirement will result in charges
of criminal harassment being filed via the F.B.I. If charged, you
will be subject to extradition and criminal trial in Canada, where a
conviction will lead to a sentence of two-years-less-one-day in a
Provincial prison.
All web pages under your control containing the names of hierarchs,
clergy, or faithful members of our Church are to be immediately shut
down. Do not imagine that you are safe from being tracked, as court
orders from either Canada or the U.S. can make it possible to get ISP
records from even the freenet webpage providers. Under Canadian law,
you are in violation of hate crime statutes, an offence subject to
extradition from the U.S. to stand trial in Canada, and the potential
sentence of 10 years in a Canadian penitentiary. You are also subject
to civil liability for libel, defamation of character, and any
personal or corporate damages attained therefrom.
This is your only warning. Failure to comply will result in criminal
investigation. We are hardly worth that much trouble to you.

Chancellor
Orthodox Church of Canada

Very cute, [name elided].
So you were "Igor" the fake Russian who called the other night. You

So obvious, when you promptly updated your webpage to list my one-time

Vladika ANDREI created this account and had only used it to e-mail

stupidly have given us all the evidence we need by replying to this
box from your "Aberrant" account. We have confirmed your identity.
Better hire a good criminal lawyer fast! One who specializes in

Soon you will be in prison, much to our blessed relief! We shall pray
that God heals you of your mental illness soon.
LOL!

Andrei Brennan:
Continues to operate as a bishop in Canada after being deposed and excommunicated (see documents below). Brennan's most recent escapades were to cause problems at a local university in Hamilton, Ontario, by trying to force himelf in as a campus ministry. His repeated attempts to meet in Canada with the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew have consistently failed, and mainline ethnic Orthodox groups in Canada consider Brennan a troublesome layman outside of Orthodoxy. Brennan is "in communion" with aberrant Ukrainian groups in the US and Europe, not having valid orders from recognized Orthodox Synods, and claiming association with monasteries in Texas and Florida which cater to homosexuals. Brennan, International Archbishop-President of OCCNA, has a constant "monsastic" companion named "The Rev. Mother-Deaconess", who signs documents "mother anastasia" and shares the same residential and email address. Brennan also has a bishop and deacon (Sereda and Zetaruk) who share another residential and email address. Brennan was not consecrated canonically, either in 12/27/1996 by solo Darrel Grosvold (Old Catholic) or 10 months later in 10/26/1997 by solo WR Price, making Brennan's subsequent acts uncanonical. On his 'net ministry' at a delphi forum, Brennan admits that he censors content: "Any member acting in such a fashion [swearing] will have their message erased, and they will be gagged and locked out of this forum."
Below Brennan makes a calloused and insensitive prayer request for a dead priest outside his jurisdiction (by reporting gory details as a tabloid rag). Brennan twists his sensational story into a press release announcing, again, Brennan's next bishoping project which is to use the dead priest's church. Brennan then makes the story into a political statement by aligning himself with the dead priest's church to imply Brennan is in communion with yet another ethnic, autocephalous church. Brennan's writings degrade the office he claims.
From //www.occna.com/md/admin/orthicon.html:
"March 23, 1999 - OCC/UAOC/OCCNA SPECIAL BULLETIN - PRAYER REQUEST - "Glory to Jesus Christ! Glory now and forever! It is with sadness that we announce the sudden and tragic repose of Fr. Ilce Miovski, senior priest of St. Clement of Ohrid Macedonian Orthodox Church in Toronto, Ontario. Fr. Ilce (pronounced Il-ee-ah) was killed by a drunk driver on Sunday evening at about 9:00 p.m. The young driver, a 21 year old man, was being pursued by Police for erratic driving. His licence was under suspension at the time. Apparently, Fr. Ilce, who was on his way home from a pastoral visit, had a tire go flat. He pulled off to the side of the road and telephoned for help, and was in the process of trying to replace his tire when the speeding car ran him down. It is believed that he died instantaneously. Fr. Ilce, who was 50 years old, is a friend of our church, and had recently offered the use of his facilities for our upcoming ordinations in Bright Week. Bishop-Elect Yaroslaw and I have been invited to participate in the Funeral Liturgy, which will be held at St. Clement's, 76 Overlea Blvd, Toronto, this Friday at 10:00 a.m. ..."
Then just two days later on March 25, 1999, St. Clement of Ohrid Macedonian Orthodox Church in Toronto, Ontario gives Brennan et al the boot and refuses to let them use their facilities because he is a bogus bishop. Now Brennan is stuck with using a community recreation center. But look at how Brennan tries to twist the reason around, as if he is doing the Macedonian Orthodox Church a favor (//welcome.to/orthodox.church.of.canada):
OCC/UAOC/OCCNA SPECIAL BULLETIN - CHANGE OF VENUE FOR
ORDINATIONS
Out of respect for the recent tragic repose of Father Ilce Miovski (Eternal Memory!), our Metropolia of All Canada has notified the congregation of St. Clement of Ohrid Macedonian Orthodox Church in Toronto, Ontario, that we will not be using their facilities for the upcoming Ordination Liturgy scheduled for Bright Tuesday, April 13th (new style). This change of venue is made to give reverence to the congregation's time of mourning.
Instead, the Divine Liturgy will be celebrated in the regular worship
facilities of Christ the Lord of Mercy Mission Parish, at the Terra Cotta Community Centre, in Terra Cotta, Ontario. The community centre is a former church, and converts very well into a Byzantine-style chapel.
Bishop-Elect +Yaroslaw R. Sereda will be ordained to the sacred
Episcopate, and Dragan Daniel Batovic will be ordained to the holy
Diaconate at that Liturgy, still scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m.
Please note the change of venue, and let anyone know that you may have
invited to attend.
Your prayers are requested for the repose of the soul of Father Ilce, for his family, and his congregation during this most difficult time of bereavement.
Thank-you for your understanding."
