Would the “silent majority” post three different times under three different names? The silent majority is actually fed up with this screeching mob that fails to accept that this new group is actually making some surprisingly positive progress with the congregation.

Please provide the specific verse for "misquoting the Bible".

The English is paywalled but you’re not missing much. There’s some raging language, it’s no icon of Christian serenity, but Dr. Talvi’s piece boils down to turn-of-the-century (last century, the early 1900’s) propriety that Stephen Leacock lampooned in his Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town, and to activity-envy. Under the direction of the last council, in contrast to all other Estonian churches in Canada, St. Peter’s described its limited ongoing programs to the CRA merely as “operate a church and its related activities”. The Congregational Council Response clarifies legal, administrative, and yes, monetary issues (Leacock would be impressed). At the same time it provides an enlightening update regarding the actual work of the church’s new council and the church’s manifold rise in activities. It’s excellent, if that’s your interest.

You can easily copy and machine translate the piece by Dr. Talvi, it’s not what anyone would call nuanced. Only the owner and publisher of Estonian Life, not an editor, would publish such a rant.

To call Talvi’s article a rant is childish and immature, but par for the course for you people. Her arguments are steeped in fact, again, something your sort knows nothing about. The fact is FOSP was called out, exposed, busted if you will. The responsible thing here would be for them to own it, rather than cower behind RT style propaganda. But again, you people are simply executing the only playbook you know. Very sad, but there is always forgiveness if you have the courage to ask.

Dante’s reference about “you people” is all you need to know. It is a dog whistle term often used by racists to marginalize others. In this case it is used to cast-out and marginalize anyone who disagrees with this small but vocal anti-church group.

Interesting is, that 6 of the 9 2015 St. Peter's directors, comprised all 6 directors of the 2023 'sell the church' board. One went to the 'future' committee pushing for the sale of the church, and one was the minister/ringleader who was quite sad when the final vote failed, saying '$20 million thrown to the ground', but he still got his ELCIC pension!
Very interesting also was: Charitable programs + Gifts to other charities: $300,743, which also should be reviewed.

It seems highly unethical to comment without knowing facts. Uninformed opinion is rife in this stream of negativity. As far as one is aware Eesti Elu submits material to EWR. EWR respects copyright it seems, as well it should. The original articles and the response were published both online at eestielu.ca and in the newspaper’s print issues. Without knowing the facts one might guess that Talvi Maimets did not submit her opinion to EWR, knowing that this site receives comments while EE does not. For the newspaper will not post comments without knowing the identity of the person wishing to comment. Hence, those who enjoy anonymously slinging mud without being aware of what really had taken place enjoy posting here. Civil discussion is an endangered animal thanks to what anonymous commenters are allowed to submit. Thankfully there are filters. The first of those is one’s own brain. It is truly a shame that some choose to not think, sort out the issues and ask reasoned questions instead of being influenced by perceived wrongs. No need to divide the communities further with such “rants”, although even that word is being misused here.
Kerge on hukka mõista, tarvis on mõista.

"sort out the issues and ask reasoned questions" ... and once that is done, and the congregation sees that it is on solid financial footing going forward, everyone will agree that there is no reason to sell the church. Then the congregation can come together in the home that its early members built.
