		<description><![CDATA[Dear Fr. Basil,

Count me in when it comes to calling our leaders to a higher standard and discussing leadership issues.  What I would be more than interested in is not only &#039;discussing&#039; but engage in active work to move our clergy, etc. to better leadership standards.  I am well familiar with the issue of leadership as that is what my husband&#039;s PhD is all about, as well as his dissertation.

By your holy prayers.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have some observations on what’s happened in the OCA over the past year coming up in the next week or two.

I’m not interested solely in moral issues, either. We need to raise our standard (tremendously) on the moral front, but we’ve got work to do in other areas, too.

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Fr. Basil:

You are correct -- for a while after the AAC it looked as if we, the OCA, were moving towards cleaning our house, but now we seem to be drifting, dead in the water, especially on moral issues.
