:Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was just saying ''why'' the name was the way it was; the correct way is (obviously) better. As you can probably tell simply by looking at what I personally have done on that article, I know very, very little about the Monastery, and would be very happy about the article increasing. -- [[User:Pistevo|oea]] 21:34, 2 November 2005 (CST)

Actually the details added to the history and the bio by me are correct. I was concerned to place into proper perspective 2 things that were ambiguous or unclear in the earlier drafts, and some associated webpages.
1. The statement that "the monastery was founded in 1992," but not clarifying that it only became part of ROCOR in 1997.
2. The statement in earlier versions (and also in associated webpages) that "Hieromonk Michael comes to Australia from England in 1992" which infers that he is of English origin. In fact he was born in Australia and spent most of his life there.
The following, requoted from above, misrepresents what was written by me:
"I'm a little suspicious based upon the statement 'baptized and chrismated by ROCOR due to "previous ordination"' - suggesting a lack of familiarity with reception into the Orthodox Church, or the standard practices of ROCOR."
This is what was written; the wording being virtually a direct quote from an email from one of his superiors at ROCOR.
"Michael Wood approached ROCOR for reception. Subsequently he was received through baptism and chrismation into the Russian Orthodox Church on the basis of a his "previous ordination", with instructions to establish "Western Rite" ministeries in Australia and New Zealand."
Abp. Hilarion is well acquainted with the correct details.
