in this video Bishop Mar Mariam noell explains why he was excommunicated from his church it's one thing um we've been sometimes criticized by some people I have no habit of talking about people but only I talk when I see someone talking ill about Christianity this man his name is he calls him himself Mar but his name is Robert Schon he is not a member of the Assyrian Church of the East he's never been member of the Assyrian Church of the East we do not recognize his teaching we completely forbid him from entering into any of
our churches he was ordained by the ancient Church of the east by Metro apan maraku then he was defrauded it means he was suspended from his church now he doesn't belong to no church Bishop Mar Mari Emanuel was excommunicated because of theological differences and disagreements over Church practical matters here's how the bishop addressed these allegations I sent an email today to his Holiness and a clarification and a reply to the nine points that is Holiness saying that I have breached the Canon laws of the church number one his Holiness is saying that marari is supposedly
not allowed to live with his mother he's not allowed to to live with his mother according to the canon law of the church I'm not allowed to live with my mother I have to live in the church premises well here is the reply to that point the Council of niia the Council of NAA and the first Universal Council of the United Christian Church convened by Emperor Constantine the Great in the year 325 ad in the third rule of the council it is stated the great Council has forbidden generally any bishop or preser or Deacon and
anyone else among those in the clergy the privilege of having a house made unless she is either a mother or a sister or an aunt or a person above suspicion Canon 3 of the first Universal Council of NAA I can live with my mom because the Nan the n and canon law is universal for Catholic Orthodox all churches all churches and I'm not sure if it's a CME to live with Mom number two that marari must supposedly attend every morning and evening prayer in public on a daily basis in the church his Holiness is saying
that I'm not attending prayers evening and Mornings in the church on a daily basis I have breached the canal laws of the church the second counil this is a reply to it the second Council of Constantinople declares in rule 80 that a clergy man can only be held accountable if he is missing from the services I.E holy Mass not daily praise if he be a clerk let him be deposed from office but if he be a Layman let him be removed from communion Canon 80 of the second Council of Constantinople but there is nothing mentioned
if he's a clergyman let him be deposed from the church no mention and that's only if he misses the holy mess 3 weeks in a row I never have number three the accusation is that marari cannot wear the beruna or head covering the beruna this is the reply the beruna is a very or a head covering is a very important head covering and it was also worn by the Assyrian holy monks of History like St a Aram St aim the great St Isaac of ninev and countless others of our beloved Church there is nothing odd
or unacceptable about this because it is the ancient practice of The Universal Church another allegation that marari is forbidden to use images of saints in his leaflets or in church to clarify this point my beloveds marari is not the first clergy men to use images in leaflets or in church premises as previously and until now has been seen the use of images and also statues let them take the statue of the holy mother from the church of mother Mary in Melbourne and let them take all the pictures and icons of saints and crosses in the
magazine that comes from Baghdad Iraq itself where the patriarch resides under the name ofka the Horizon why is marmari now all of a sudden a law [Music] breaker another another accusation that marmari is is forbidden to run a charity to help those in need there is nothing now listen to this there is nothing in church law that forbids charity funds none whatsoever because Jesus he gave his life as a charity to win souls for eternal life he sacrificed his life there is nothing in church law that forbids charity funds another accusation that marari is forbidden
from being in church hall for tea or coffee after Bible preach so-called dinners and parties there is nothing in church law it is not a canon law what does that got to do with heav having a coffee there is nothing in church law to validate this accusation in fact Servants of the word and of the table is biblical my beloved refer to the book of Acts 6: 2 it's biblical if anything another accusation that marari is forbidden to use words of endearment to members of his Parish especially women do you know what endearment means these
kind of words words of endearment are a part of Australian culture anyway and they do not reflect any real relationship but are used even to complete to complete but are used even to complete strangers to show polite Ness and kindness of heart there is nothing wrong with calling people darling sweetie or any such other term God calls us to be loving honorable human beings not to be coldhearted miserable [Music] riches and another accusation that marmari is forbidden to take his flock on tours to Jerusalem or to wave the Australian flag with them in the lanes
in the lanes of the holy city there is nothing absolutely nothing in church law that forbids a bishop from taking his flock on a guided Tua through the holy city and the holy shrines of Jerusalem number nine and the last accusation that marari is forbidden to use mobile phone and an [Music] earphone there is nothing there is nothing in the church law that forbids a bishop from using Mo modern technology such as mobile phones or earphones in order to communicate with his flock or to fulfill his duties as a also also as a health hazard
placing the mobile phone on one's ear can lead to health [Music] problems following The Bishop's excommunication he founded an independent church in the Eastern Syriac tradition of Christianity known as Christ the Good Shepherd Church in a new sermon recently released Mar Mari Emanuel shared some good news regarding his church Church here's what he had to say I thank the Lord that this church is now officially recognized by the by the government as a bill of parliament it was passed on the 15th of August this year and we are a church recognized like Catholic Church all
Orthodox Churches both Oriental and Eastern Orthodoxy we are recognized as a Christian Apostolic Orthodox Church my beloveds you know that's incredible
