Church to Orthodox Fascists: Repent!

That image above shocked and disgusted many Orthodox Christians on Bright Week, the week after Easter/Pascha. It shows a white supremacist at Indiana University using an Orthodox cross to fight a leftist opponent. It turns out that the notorious Matthew Heimbach was recently received into the Orthodox faith at a parish in Bloomington. The parish priest has just posted an announcement on the church website reading, in part:

    On Saturday, April 12, 2014, I received Matthew Heimbach into the Orthodox communion through the sacrament of Chrismation.  I did not understand at that time that he held nationalistic, segregationist views.  Immediately upon learning of the scope and development of Matthew’s views, I responded to his decisions quickly and decisively, meeting with him in person and by phone on multiple occasions, and conferring with our bishop.
