12 years ago at Summit Lighthouse

Subject: Petition from Moscow KOF


Petition of Keepers of the Flame in Moscow Study Group to Presidents,
Board of Directors and Council of Elders of the Summit Lighthouse and
Church Universal and Triumphant



We, the Keepers of the Flame in the Moscow Study Group express our protest against
the removal of the President and four members of the Moscow Study Group s Board:
Ketino Lutidze, Nina Korneeva, Margarita Djakina, Sergey Starikov and Stuart Montgomerie.
We protest against the succession of unproven and unfounded accusations against them
that followed their removal. We consider that these acts have contravened very important
divine principles of our organization   freedom, openness, justice and democracy. We  
who are the majority of Keepers of the Flame in Moscow, raise our voices to defend these
people and their work for our group and for the Masters.

We know these people well. We have seen the excellent fruits of their labors and consider
that the accusations against them are lies. In their communications to Russian Keepers
of the Flame, the Church leadership has poured out a flow of lie and calumny against our Board.

We do not want all that was built in Russia for many years by the hand of God,
to be destroyed. And we will hold fast to what we have received, we will protect and defend it,
including the Board of our group.

We will actively continue to fulfill our spiritual activities in our group!

We apply to the leadership of the Summit Lighthouse and Church Universal and Triumphant
and ask that you repair the mistakes, conduct an impartial investigation and reestablish
the Board of the Moscow Study Group in their positions.

Dear Ketino, Margarita, Nina, Sergey, and Stuart,

            This is to respond to your request for a meeting with the board of directors.

            To review, the team from Montana came to Moscow to talk informally with you about concerns, both ours and yours.  The opportunity to discuss concerns, however, was cut off by one person’s behavior at the meeting, and the support of that behavior by four other board members. Due to the extraordinary nature of the behavior and the unwillingness to discuss the serious issues being raised, an assessment was made that immediate action was required to protect the interests of the organization and its members. Management from Montana then made an operational decision to remove five members of the board. This decision was endorsed by the Board of Directors....
We are sending this letter to our Summit University Press Representative in Moscow, Benuard Krupnik, to translate into Russian and email to each of you directly both in Russian and in English. If individuals would like to respond, you are welcome to do so by email or telephone. 

Sincerely,


BOARD OF DIRECTORS

THE SUMMIT LIGHTHOUSE and CHURCH UNIVERSAL AND TRIUMPHANT            http://ascension-research.org/russian_student_situation.html#MartinDec12

That was 12 years ago.  Since then the RTR staff got rid of due process of the law formally from this organization, dumped some Elders calling for due process, replaced Presidents Drake and Gordon with McBride, and in March 2011 set up David Drye as "Spiritual Director", among their other moves.    -R, Mt. Shasta, CA    Life goes on.
