Press Release
From Fr. Terry Lozynsky
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ!
I humbly apologize for the problems and embarrassment that I have caused our bishop and you my brothers and sisters.
On Sunday, March 25th , I allowed the liberal party and their candidate, Mr. Michael Ignatieff to use the hall in my parish. I was also asked to second the nomination of Mr. Ignatieff. I felt that this was an honor as the host and hoped that this action may heal the rift that existed between the Ukrainian community and Mr. Ignatieff’s. At no time was I doing this for any political or personal gain.
I also did not take into consideration the political stances that Mr. Ignatieff has on abortion and same sex legislation. I categorically state here that my moral values are the same as the church I represent. I do not support same sex marriages, nor do I support any form of abortion.
Unfortunately my actions were seen in the eyes of many as one of me supporting not only the political party but Mr. Ignatieff’s position as mentioned above. I do not support any political party and as I stated I do not support Mr. Ignatieff’s position on these matters.
Please forgive me my brothers and sisters as I threw caution to the wind and didn’t consider the reactions of my actions. I promise in the future that Ii will support all eparchial statutes and canon law and hopefully never put the church in the same position as I did last week.
Humbly yours in Christ,
Fr. Terry Lozynsky
Dated this 4th day of April 2007
