Shlomo,

I heard some disturbing news from the USA concerning one of our bishops, namely His Eminence Bishop Mor Clemis Eugene (Augin) Kaplan of the diocese of western USA.

He seems to be disappeared and hiding himself somewhere. Some while ago he was here in Holland for a short trip to the monastery of Mor Afrem Suryoyo ( residence of Bishop J.J. Cicek ). From the monastery we heard that Bishop Clemis Eugine ( Augin) Kaplan had lost more than one million U.S. dollars on the stockmarket and needed financial aid immediatly.

Of course, we the believers in Europe did not believe such lies. But this disturbing news makes us doubt.

Can somebody shed some light on this issue?

Shlome,

Matay
