Hieromonk Luke: “Knowledge is a firm foundation on which to build the salvation of the soul.” I am grateful to the Lord, to the Mother of God and to Batiushka Tikhon that they gave me such joy and happiness—the chance to study. Knowledge is a firm foundation to use in building the salvation of one’s soul. Of course, such spiritual building is based on firm faith and fulfillment of the Gospel commandments. For us, the path of ascension to God is traveled under the guidance of the holy fathers. They teach us how to correctly fulfill the Gospel commandments.

After the Divine Liturgy, His Holiness Patriarch Kirill and His Beatitude Metropolitan Jonah performed the Office of the Great Blessing of Waters, after which His Holiness addressed the worshippers with the primatial homily dedicated to the Epiphany of the Lord. He greeted the Primate of the Orthodox Church in America and congratulated the rector, clergy and parishioners on the Patronal Feast. Metropolitan Jonah greeted His Holiness and the plenitude of th4e Russian Orthodox Church. The divine service was followed by fraternal repast. His Holiness thanked His Beatitude for his ministry on the American continent. The Orthodox Church in America is an autocephalous Church, yet she has come into being from the Russian ecclesiastical mission, headed by Patriarch, then Bishop, Tikhon of Russia. The OCA has been independent for some forty years and is becoming the Church of the Americans thus bringing witness to the missionary labours of our fathers and forefathers, His Holiness said and wished His Beatitude and the OCA bishops unity, strength, and God’s help to maintain spiritual cordial ties with the Russian Mother Church, which is willing to support American Orthodoxy. His Beatitude Metropolitan Jonah thanked His Holiness Patriarch Kirill for concelebrating the Divine Liturgy on the feast day and for support rendered by the Russian Orthodox Church to the Orthodox Church in America.

| Thousands March for Life in Chicago Source: Diocese of the Midwest (OCA) January 25, 2016 Fr. John Adamcio, Dn. Thomas Keith, and Fr. Andrew Bartek were among the clergy who participated in the March for Life. (Photo: Regina D’Amico) “The third annual March for Life Chicago was a huge success,” said Priest Andrew Bartek, March for Life Board member and Spiritual Director of Orthodox Christians for Life Chicago, “despite the brutal cold temperatures that hit the Chicago area.” An estimated 5,000 marchers — up from 4,000 in 2015 — turned out for the event on Sunday, January 17, 2016, despite the minus-20 degree wind-chill. His Grace, Bishop Paul opened the March for Life with a prayer asking God “to enlighten the minds and hearts of those blinded to the truth that life begins at conception.… Be merciful, O Lord, to those who, through ignorance or willfulness, affront Your divine goodness and providence through the evil act of abortion.” Bishop Paul offers opening prayer before the March. (Photo: Regina D’Amico) Emily Zender, Executive Director of Illinois Right to Life and President of the March for Life Chicago said, “In just its third year running, the March for Life Chicago has continued to grow in size — from 2,000, to 4,000, to a record-breaking 5,000 marchers this year! The marchers filled the city streets of downtown Chicago with a sea of smiling faces, singing, holding yellow balloons and just filled with joy.” “Orthodox Christian faithful representing several jurisdictions helped make this the most successful pro-life event in the Midwest,” said Father Andrew. “Antiochians, Serbians, Greeks, Carpatho-Russians as well as our own OCA Chicago Deanery, along with pro-Life people from across Illinios, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, Minnesota and Ohio, were in attendance. Despite frigid weather, a record 5,000 marchers participated in this year’s March. (Photo: Regina D’Amico) “It takes close to and 11 months of planning for this event and, despite the weather, it was successful.” Father Malik Rihani of the Antiochian Archdiocese said. “It is nice to see this large group of people here; especially when we see 80,000 plus sit in a football stadium in the same weather.” Additional information, video footage and photos can be found at .

| Patriarch Kirill could visit US in near future, says Met. Hilarion Moscow, May 12, 2017 Photo: Pravoslavie.ru In Washington, DC for the May 10-13 World Summit in Defense of Persecuted Christians, convened by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeyev), the head of the Moscow Patriarchate’s Department for External Church Relations, told TASS on Thursday that His Holiness Patriarch Kirill could visit America sometime in the near future. “I really think the patriarch’s visit to the US is somewhere on the horizon,” the metropolitan stated, noting that the primate has already visited all of the autocephalous Local Orthodox Churches except for the Orthodox Church in America, currently under the leadership of His Beatitude Metropolitan Tikhon. Such a trip would be Patriarch Kirill’s first to America, and would be especially noteworthy as it was the Moscow Patriarchate that granted autocephaly to the Orthodox Church in America in 1970. His predecessor, Patriarch Alexey II, traveled to America in 1991, where he visited St. Tikhon’s Monastery and Seminary in South Canaan, PA, and the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese chancery in Englewood, NJ, among other sites. “I think this is possible in the coming years,” Met. Hilarion stated, although adding, “We’re not discussing any specific dates yet.” He did note that the issue could be raised in conversation with Met. Tikhon, who is also attending and speaking at the Washington summit. The two hierarchs are to meet and concelebrate this coming weekend at St. Nicholas Church (OCA) in Washington, DC. For his part, Met. Tikhon said that he would be glad to receive His Holiness Patriarch Kirill in America. “I’m sure we’ll be discussing it in the future,” he stated. The two primates have concelebrated before, when Met. Tikhon was in Moscow for the patriarch’s 70th birthday celebration.

Archimandrite Alexander was nominated for the vacant see at the diocese’s Fifth Congress-Sobor held in Toledo, OH on Saturday, June 9, 2011. In June 2010, the diocese initiated its search for a candidate for a successor to His Eminence, the late Archbishop Kirill. At the close of the first phase of the search, the diocesan search committee had reviewed the names of 22 possible candidates. After thorough review and discussion, the list was reduced to six names. All six men were contacted and their suitability as candidates was further reviewed. The search committee then settled on two candidates — Archimandrite Alexander and Archpriest Paul Gassios. A native of Saint Innocent Church, Tarzana, CA, Archimandrite Alexander received a BA in English from the University of California at Berkeley and an M. Div. from Saint Vladimir’s Seminary. He spent seven years pursuing doctoral studies at Oxford University in England under His Eminence, Metropolitan Kallistos [Ware]. During this time, he also spent two years in Greece, including one year at Simonos Petras Monastery on Mount Athos. After receiving his D.Phil. in 1980, he returned to the US, where he was ordained to the diaconate in January 1982 and to the priesthood two years later. In 1986, he was tonsured to monastic orders. He served OCA missions in northern California and headed the Diocese of the West’s mission committee. In 1989, he took a teaching position at Milwaukee’s Marquette University in the Theology Department, a position that he holds today. The Bulgarian Diocese of the OCA includes 19 parishes and missions and one monastery. Also active in the U.S. is the Bulgarian Orthodox Diocese of America, Canada, and Australia, which is under the jurisdiction of the Bulgarian Patriarch. His Eminence Metropolitan Joseph is the diocesan prelate. 5 октября 2011 г. ... Комментарии Мы в соцсетях Подпишитесь на нашу рассылку |

| Всякий, ненавидящий брата своего, есть человекоубийца; а вы знаете, что никакой человекоубийца не имеет жизни вечной, в нем пребывающей. 1 Ин. 3,15 Суд признал архиепископа Канадского Серафима виновным в сексуальном насилии 27.01.2014 Архиепископ Оттавы и Канады Серафим (Сторгейм) признан виновным в сексуальном насилии. Решение об этом вынес суд в Манитобе (провинция Виннипег, Канада). Суд рассмотрел свидетельства о событиях, которые имели место в середине 1980-х гг., в то время, когда будущий архиерей Православной Церкви в Америке был священником в Виннипеге. В то же время архиепископ был оправдан по ряду других обвинений подобного рода. Окончательный приговор и мера наказания архиепископу Серафиму будут объявлены позднее. В настоящее время он остается на свободе под уплаченный за него залог. Архиепископ Серафим — бывший глава епархии Православной Церкви в Америке (OCA) на территории Канады. В декларации, опубликованной на официальном сайте OCA 24 января по поводу суда над архиепископом Серафимов, Синод Православной Церкви в Америке напоминает, что он временно отстранил владыку Серафима от его обязанностей в 2010 г., когда против него были выдвинуты обвинения. Была создана специальная синодальная комиссия, чтобы рассмотреть этот вопрос. Комиссия должна в ближайшее время опубликовать свое заключение. Владыка Серафим (в миру Kenneth William Storheim), архиепископ Оттавы и Канады является правящим архиереем епархии Православной Церкви в Америки на территории Канады, секретарем Священного Синода и председателем Отдела внешних сношений Православной Церкви в Америки. Является первым канадцем, который стал архиереем в юрисдикции Православной Церкви в Америки. В конце сентября 2010 г. Синод Православной Церкви в Америке заслушал доклад о том, что канадская полиция расследует жалобу по поводу сексуальных домогательств архиепископа Серафима. Этот акт, как предполагалось, имел место тридцать лет назад, когда архиепископ Серафим был священником в Виннипеге. Он был направлен в отпуск на период расследования. 30 ноября 2010 года Синод запретил его в служении. Седмица.Ru / Древо-инфо.Ru Редакция текста от: 27.01.2014 17:26:40 |
