$\"\"$ <\/a>I don\u2019t usually spotlight Orthodox jurisdictional errors on this blog. Besides, I was sort of \u201craised\u201d by the OCA in the South and am very grateful for their ministry and support. But, since the \u201cback-story\u201d in the following article(s) has been whispered about for some time now, and particularly since the story is hitting mainstream \u2014 forgive me<\/em> \u2014 here it is:<\/p>\n

Allegations of financial misconduct are rocking the Orthodox Church in America, whose former treasurer says top officials misappropriated millions of dollars in donations from agribusiness titan Dwayne Andreas, U.S. military chaplains and ordinary parishioners across the country.<\/em><\/p>\n

The highest officers of the 400,000-member denomination, an offshoot of the Russian Orthodox Church, are accused of using the money to cover personal credit card bills, pay sexual blackmail, support family members and make up shortfalls in various church accounts.<\/p>\n

The former treasurer, Deacon Eric A. Wheeler, said the greatest fear of the church\u2019s leaders in the late 1990s was that Andreas, the retired chairman of Archer Daniels Midland Co., would visit Moscow and discover that they had not used his donations to renovate a church and build a conference center. So they prepared a modern-day Potemkin village, ordering a brass plaque that could instantly transform a Moscow law office into the \u201cAndreas Conference and Communications Center,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The potential scandal will come to a head Wednesday when the church\u2019s governing body of 10 bishops, the Holy Synod, is scheduled to meet behind closed doors at its headquarters in Syosset, N.Y., to consider demands from some bishops, priests and parishioners for \u2026<\/p>\n
