Basil, for making sure these documents remain readily accessible on the internet.

It seems fashionable in some circles to look down on a careful, responsible approach to management of the Church’s affairs as somehow inappropriate (importing American business culture to the exclusion of a true Orthodox phronema (sp?)). But the painful history recounted in these documents teaches us that NOT to be honest, cautious, and responsible in these administrative matters opens the door to temptation and abuse.
