Greek orthodox Metropolitan Nathanael (Symeonides) of Chicago must resign effective immediately

I am not a spokesman nor do I represent the church in any way, although I was baptized, went to Greek school at holy trinity, and still have high hopes in a miracle to get back the church. With all due respect I will not defy or slander anyone. I will merely utilize my freedom of speech. Holy Trinity church was sold at auction and by years end it's over. The Greek communities last hope was His Eminence Metropolitan Nathanael (Symeonides) of Chicago to help save the church with their resources. He has been silent as many parishioners have stated. Holy Trinity church will eventually close it's doors soon for the last time, year end it will be over, unless a miracle happens, and I do believe in miracles. On September 10, 2019 I attended mass, and it was stated the metropolis will take out the weeping icon of the virgin Mary! Many people showed their frustration and even yelled out loud. Your Eminence you have no right in touching that icon, no right whatsoever in taking it down, especially when were witnessing a miracle. Your job is to come to holy trinity and pray in front of her, with us. You need to call every metropolitan and you need to walk in their and pray like theirs no tomorrow. You have to find a way to bring back the church.

No one is perfect, not even I, were all siners, and I actually prayed and said lord have mercy on them! I always say were not worthy of anything, yet god loves us all. Their heartbroken and when your heart breaks you never speak with your mind. 

Considering their was no help in the end so far from the archdiocese the church is at a loss and you represent the community your Eminence Metropolitan Nathanael (Symeonides) of Chicago. That's right, your our leader. We still have high hopes. For some reason many are questioning why you didn't intervene and help! Were all one community, one body! What will you tell Jesus in the next life? I had the resources, I could of tried harder, and let it go? Here's a thought, go to our Eminence Bartholomew and ask for funds, go to New York and ask the archdiocese for help, their is no shame in asking your eminence for financial help. If Holy Trinity goes, the mother of all churches in the Midwest, then I would like to ask you to resign and step down. Your in a position to make things happen. I do believe in last minute miracles! Yes I do! I still believe in miracles. Your our last hope! 

Their is someone up above that has more love to give us than anyone of us down here. If you go to the lord, if you believe in him, the lords grace will save the church, no matter how dark or bleak the situation may be. God is beautiful, god is merciful, and Holy. 

Always have eyes that see the best, A heart that forgives the worst, A mind that forgets the bad, and a soul that never looses hope! Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step. 

Because it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will give praise to God.
