New link?
Has Bp. Benjamin yet been enthroned? I noticed the recent edit and have wondered whether it was premature. &mdash;[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color="green" face="Adobe Garamond Pro, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fr.

== New link? ==
 
Disturbed by the addition of a link in here.
 
I am not a member of the OCA and I am therefore unaware of any present controversy or crisis, and there's no mention of it that I can find in the main article.
 
And yet the article now links to a website that mysteriously seeks financial gain to undermine authority at the upper levels, and the owners of that website refuse to identify themselves.
 
I'm not comfortable with that.
 
If someone with more awareness thinks it appropriate to discuss the controversy in the main article, the presence of the link might be justifiable. But I lean towards thinking that an ongoing and unresolved internal controversy is irrelevant to the discussion *until* it is resolved (in order to maintain neutral-POV), and that the link itself confuses ME and--because of its unverifiability and divisiveness--by its mere presence implies a non-neutral POV on the part of the individual who added it.
 
I will not remove the link myself since I am not an expert on the situation, but I am curious about a quick and non-divisive response (preferably publicly, here) so that we might understand better why the link is there. I have much less problem with it if there's a sensible, neutral justification for it.
 
This is, of course, merely my 2¢, but when adjusted for inflation, might be considered worth a few cents more?
