Quick News: ROCOR-A, Synod-In-Resistance, RTOC

Lots of news items, so this will be short articles for each.

Has the ROCOR-A Synod’s Website been hacked again? Preliminary views show the website is down. The site has been previously victimized by hackers, who we presume are sympathetic to the Moscow Patriarchate. Update (2:54 am) The website is still down. We are hoping for a revamp of the site, but if MP hackers are involved we have cause to worry. The .com site is still up, thank God.
