But for some reason they send letters to 10 communities, or only two priests are named? Exactly which churches are these ten?
სალომე ნოზაძე
Vakhtang, that's a good question. These ten communities are likely to be churches where both priests served at different times, or where children participated in church programs. I haven't seen the specific list either, but it will probably be published soon.

It’s good that the archdiocese is not silent and writes to parishes. But I wonder why exactly ten communities if there are two priests? Maybe, however, those places where they served or where they worked with children. The list would be published so that people know for sure.

It's good they're notifying the parishes instead of keeping it quiet. But yeah, like Vakhtang and Dmitry said, why ten communities for just two priests? A published list would help folks know if their old parish is one of them.

True, Salome, the ten communities must really refer to the churches where they served. I wonder how they will distribute this list - have they already sent the letters or will they make it public?
