A Message from the Antiochian Archdiocese
Department of Communications

As you may now be aware, there has been an accusation (of a violation of the Church canons) against His Eminence Metropolitan Joseph. The Antiochian Archdiocese takes all accusations against a clergyman very seriously and investigates them for the protection of all parties concerned. An investigation by an independent legal team not associated with the Antiochian Archdiocese is underway. His Eminence denies the accusation against him and asks that you keep him in your prayers during this difficult time.

Metropolitan Joseph (Al-Zehlaoui)

A reliable insider source in Englewood informs Orthodoxy in Dialogue that Metropolitan Joseph has been busy working the phones to tell whoever will listen that he is innocent of impropriety (see Leaked: Metropolitan Joseph under Investigation for 16-Year Affair with Married Woman and Metropolitan Joseph’s Affair: The Email) and that his victim is crazy.

How does His Eminence explain these? Read More
