In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Having received and examined the petition submitted before this Ecclesiastical Court, and having considered the testimony and evidence presented concerning the marriage of:
John Totem and Elara Totem
and it having been established that the sacred covenant of marriage was grievously violated through the sin of adultery, contrary to the teachings of Holy Scripture and the Holy Canons of the Orthodox Church;
Therefore, by the authority vested in this Ecclesiastical Court, and for the spiritual welfare of the faithful, it is hereby decreed that the aforesaid marriage is recognized as having been irreparably broken by reason of adultery and is ecclesiastically nullified and dissolved.
The parties are released from the obligations of the marital bond under the discipline of the Church, subject to any pastoral directives imposed by the diocesan bishop.
May Almighty God grant repentance, healing, and salvation to all concerned.
Issued this 4th day of June, 2026.
