“It is with gladness in our hearts, that here on foreign soil we have been able to establish our own congregation and church in our mother-tongue" (1958)

That quote illustrates well the absurdity of the "vision". Canada is not a "foreign soil" for you and Estonian is not your first language. Even if you understand Estonian, your children, spouses and in-laws probably don't. Most importantly, future generations will not. What language did you write your "vision"? Why on earth would you need religious services in different language than the one you speak? You are hallucinating.

Loomulikult on esimesele pagulaste põlvkonnale järgnenud teised. Mida edasi, seda vähem kasutatakse eesti keelt ja veedetakse aega eestlaste kogukonnas. See on loomulik protsess, mille on läbi käinud mitmed rahvusgrupid Kanadas, USA's ja mujal. Keegi ei proovigi tagasi tuua 1958 aastat, vastupidi, meil on vaja kaasa minna tänapäevase olukorraga. Aga peab ka mäletama kiriku ajalugu, on selge, et selleks on ära toodud see 1958 tsitaat.

Kõrvaltvaadates paistab, et Peetri kirik ei ole seda suutnud senini teha, ollakse kinni minevikus. Juhatusel ei paista olevat muud plaani kui kogu krempel maha müüa. 'Sõbrad' loodetavasti pakuvad sellele mahamüümise plaanile alternatiivi. Ma igatahes ootan huviga, mis see plaan on.

When did you last attend St.
Peter's? When did you last make a significant donation? When did you last take communion? When did you last look at yourself in the mirror and say "I have sincerely done everything I can to ensure a bright future for our congregation and its sole purpose which is to serve the Lord!"? ... or are you preoccupied with merely saving the building?

If a group wants to revive and save St. Peter's why not give them that opportunity? What is the church board afraid of....that this group will SUCCEED?
