Toomas Trei: Why Sell St. Peter’s?

At the Toronto St. Peter's Estonian Church's Congregational Meeting on September 27, 2020, the St. Peter’s Board told its members that the congregation’s church had to be sold, as the congregation/church was approaching imminent insolvency. That proclamation has proven false, as two and a half years later the church is still standing, and will continue to stand, although two underlying problems remain. First, the stale St. Peter’s Board has had no changes, though its ELCIC constitution requires three resignations each year. In addition, the ‘worldly’ minister does not appear to be committed to saving ‘wrong track’ souls in Toronto, as his other interests, such as political ambitions in Estonia, appear to have his greater attention.
