| Юлия 30 октября 2013, 07:50 К сожалению есть такая практика и В РПЦЗ в Америке причащаться без исповеди когда несколько раз после исповеди причащаются(службы обычно бывают раз в неделю и иногда еще среди недели служба по большим праздникам ) И причащаються один, второй, третий раз без исповеди. Не Дай Бог кому либо испытать это ужасное мучение.Поддашься на убеждения священника а потом мучаешься зная что в России так не делали.Американцы этого не знают.А нас здесь не слушают.Дай Бог самим более не делать то что неправильно и очень больно для души.Хотя Россияне и стараються следовать традиции несмотря на препятствия и убеждения.Россия Храни Веру Православную! В ней же есть спасение! Olga 30 октября 2013, 07:25 Debby, You are right. unfortunately, the OCA church has lost the tradition. There is not only luck of confession, but also I witnessed an altered Liturgy. For example, in our OCA church in San Antonio the priest stops the Liturgy somewhere in the process of preparing the Holy Gifts. Then, he comes out and blesses the basket for donations. Then, he goes back inside the altar to continue preparing the Gifts. While he continues, some person walks around the church and gathers the donations. Right after the donations are gathered the priest comes out to give the communion. Can you imagine that? Ольга 29 октября 2013, 23:47 Ну кто, кто говорит об отмене исповеди? Где это написано??? Речь всего лишь о том, чтобы она не была обязательной перед каждым причастием, т.к. причастие может быть и несколько раз в неделю! В данном случае это просто формальность. Кто может с уверенностью сказать, что он с вечера субботы после исповеди до утра ни разу не согрешит делом, словом или помышлением? Кто в себе так уверен? Ну давайте тогда всю Литургию стоять в очереди на исповедь, чтобы уж наверняка не согрешить перед причастием. Я вот замечала на примере светлой седмицы, или от Вербного воскресения до Пасхи, когда разрешают не исповедоваться (кстати, в том числе в Сретенском монастыре), что когда знаешь, что не будешь исповедоваться, то следишь за собой гораздо серьезнее, замечаешь за собой больше, и с чувством своей ничтожности подходишь к Чаше. А когда исповедуешься перед каждым причастием (я имею в виду только случаи, когда люди причащаются не реже раза в неделю), то это способствует расслаблению,ты знаешь, что все равно исповедуешься перед причастием. При чем это происходит неосознанно. А осознаешь это вот именно в тех случаях, когда приходится причащаться без исповеди (по благословению священников, как я сказала раньше). |
| Five Orthodox Christian bishops will bless the new ZOE House of ZOE for Life in Parma’s original post office at 5454 State Road during its open house on Friday, March 4, 2016. The open house will begin at 6:30 p.m. with the blessing slated to take place at 7:00 p.m. Slated to bless the house are His Eminence, Metropolitan Savas of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Pittsburgh; His Eminence, Archbishop Nathaniel of Detroit and the Romanian Episcopate [OCA], His Grace, Bishop Daniel of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA, His Grace, Bishop Gregory of Nyssa of the American Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Diocese of the USA, and His Grace, Bishop Paul of Chicago and the Midwest [OCA]. Headquartered in Cleveland Heights, OH, ZOE for Life is a non-profit Orthodox Christian ministry that helps women during and after crisis pregnancies, offers pure living resources and retreats, and assists Orthodox Christian couples seeking to expand their families through adoption. The agency, which is endorsed by the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the USA, offers its services at ZOE House, into which it moved at the end of December. “The Orthodox people are working together in unity, under the loving guidance of our metropolitans, bishops and clergy,” said Paula Kappos, ZOE for Life President. ZOE House occupies two-thirds of the post office’s space, Ms. Kappos said. With approximately 3,000 square feet, the new facility provides space for meetings, classes, prayer circles and other healing ministries. It is on the bus line and close to the freeway, occupying a single floor for easy access to pregnant women and children. “The new facility will also allow ZOE for Life to pursue its plan to create a Women’s Center to provide limited obstetrical ultrasounds, peer counseling, needed supplements and professional referrals to ensure that crisis pregnancies aren’t dangerous one,” Ms. Kappos added. “We are incredibly excited about what God is doing with ZOE for Life and are looking forward to whatever else He might have in store.” Additional info may be found on the ZOE for Life web site or by calling 440-893-9990.

Peter E. Gillquist, a retired clergyman of the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of North America, fell asleep in the Lord last night at the age of seventy-three. Born into a Lutheran family, the future priest went on after university to become a full-time staff member of the Evangelical Protestant Campus Crusade for Christ, eventually becoming one of the organization’s regional directors. He also worked as a senior editor for Thomas Nelson Publishers, being involved in the 1970s on the overview committee for the New King James Version Bible. While still working with Campus Crusade Fr. Peter and some of his colleagues became convinced through their studies that the Orthodox Church was the only one that had preserved the ancient Christian Faith through the centuries. In 1973 this led to their organization of a network of house churches in the USA and Canada, at first called the “New Covenant Apostolic Order” and later (after 1979) the Evangelical Orthodox Church (EOC), as part of their efforts to live the Orthodox Faith as they knew it. After exploring the possibility of joining the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North and South America or the American Orthodox Church (OCA) the majority of the EOC joined the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese. (Although several EOC parishes that initially refused to be united with the Orthodox Church were later accepted through the OCA.) Fr. Peter went on to serve as director of the archdiocesan department for missions and evangelism as well as project director for the Orthodox Study Bible. He reposed due to a recurring skin cancer.

| Archive His Holiness Patriarch Kirill and Primate of Orthodox Church in America hold telephone conversation 22 December 2020 year 09:41 On December 21, 2020, His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia spoke on the phone with His Beatitude Tikhon, Archbishop of Washington, Metropolitan of All America and Canada. The Primates exchanged greetings on the occasion of the upcoming feast of the Nativity of Christ, which the Orthodox Church in America will celebrate on December 25, according to the Revised Julian calendar. During the conversation, His Holiness Patriarch Kirill shared with His Beatitude Metropolitan Tikhon warm memories of his visits to America, including Alaska. As His Holiness noted, the year 2020 marks a jubilee: fifty years ago, on April 10, 1970, Patriarch Alexy I of Moscow and All Russia, of blessed memory, signed the Tomos of Autocephaly of the Orthodox Church in America. His Holiness Patriarch Kirill invited His Beatitude Metropolitan Tikhon to visit Russia when the sanitary and epidemiological situation allows it. Having expressed condolences over the demise of the former OCA Primate, Metropolitan Theodosius (Lazor), who fell asleep in the Lord on October 19, 2020, the Primate of the Russian Church shared recollections of his meetings with Metropolitan Theodosius over the years. His Holiness also offered condolences to His Beatitude Tikhon over one more loss that had befallen the Orthodox Church in America: Archbishop David of Sitka and Alaska passed away in November 2020. His Holiness mentioned, in particular, that this hierarch had been among those accompanying His Beatitude Tikhon on his visit to Moscow in 2019. His Beatitude Tikhon expressed condolences over the demise of Metropolitan Feofan of Kazan and Tatarstan, with whom he had been personally acquainted. During the conversation, His Holiness Kirill noted with gratitude the position of the Synod of the Orthodox Church in America on the situation in Ukraine. The Primates discussed how the Russian Orthodox Church and the Orthodox Church in America were coping with the restrictions caused by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Among other issues raised during the conversation was the completion of restoration works at the Church of St.Catherine the Great Martyr in-the-Fields – the OCA Representation in Moscow.

| “I also thank the bishops of our Church, carrying out their ministry in various countries, to the hierarchs who are the first to respond to the challenges posed by those striving to destroy the unity of our Church, as well as by those who for ideological reasons fight against the Church, refusing to see her as a positive factor in the human life. I know that in their ministry bishops rely on the clergy, just as I rely, first of all, on the Moscow clerics and on active laypeople of different age, including the young committed people. Today it is our laypeople, including the youth, who are performing great deeds, often quietly and unnoticeably, but these deeds are changing the moral climate in our country. “What can I say about myself? Nothing more than we have heard today in St Paul’s Epistle to the Galatians. This year my birthday is on the 22nd Sunday after Pentecost. Of course, it is just a coincidence, but there is nothing fortuitous about God. And St Paul’s words are the only words I can say today with full responsibility and faith. ‘But God forbid that I should glory,’ St Paul writes, ‘save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.’ Amen.” DECR Communication Service 22 ноября 2016 г.

| Bearing Witness to Orthodoxy: St. Catherine " s OCA Church in Moscow/Православие.Ru Bearing Witness to Orthodoxy: St. Catherine " s OCA Church in Moscow Fr. Christopher Hill The Church of St. Catherine-in-the-Fields, Moscow Zamoskvorechie ( " the-area-beyond-the-River-Moscow " ) epitomizes Orthodox Moscow, the Russian capital famed before the 1917 Revolution for its " forty-times-forty " churches. The quite courtyards and nineteenth-century manor houses, occasionally broken by the characteristic onion domes of Russian Orthodox churches, convey more than anywhere else in Moscow the atmosphere of a patriarchal way of life, of the Moscow of her priests, of bells calling the faithful to vespers or the Divine Liturgy, the smell of incense and the sonorous chanting of Old Church Slavonic. The names of the churches are indicative of the merchant guilds who patronized first their construction and then their maintenance: the Resurrection Church of the Barrel Makers, St. Nicholas " Church of the Blacksmiths, the Resurrection Church of the Coin Minters... If one walks southwards from the Kremlin along Zamoskvorechie " s most important thoroughfare Bolshaya Ordynka St. (until the sixteenth century the highway to the Tartar " Orda " or Golden Horde headquarters) one will encounter one such church before reaching the end of the street, St. Catherine " s Church " na Vspolie " ( " in-the-Fields " ), built in the mid-eighteenth century on the territory of the region " s cosmetics guild. The cosmetics merchants " settlement was originally established in the sixteenth century by order of Tsarina Anastasia Romanovna, while an adjacent church dedicated to St. Catherine was built by order of Tsarina Irina Feodorovna. A seventeenth-century chronicler tells us that in 1612, during the Time of Troubles when the Russian dynasty was threatened by Polish and Lithuanian adventurers, the site became a battleground between Russian soldiers and Lithuanian hetman Jan Karl Khotkevich. Having endured defeat once at the hands of the Russians, the redoubtable hetman dug himself and his troops into a fortification on St. Catherine " s parish territory. In the afternoon of 24 August 1612 the Russians attacked and drove the invaders out: " the bloodshed was great and awesome1, writes a contemporary eyewitness, " and out of shame the enemy scuttled all the way back to Lithuania " . |
| Over 80 clergy and lay youth and camp workers gathered at Saint Seraphim Cathedral here January 21-23, 2016 for this year’s Pan-Orthodox Youth and Camp Workers’ Conference. “This annual conference is sponsored by the Orthodox Christian Camp Association and the leaders of all the different jurisdictions’ youth departments,” said Andrew Boyd, OCA Youth Director. “This year’s gathering was hosted by the Orthodox Church in America—and it was especially joyous to see so many come together to work to do better for our youth.” Fr. Steven Voytovich leads a discussion on burnout and self-care. The theme of the conference—“Feed My Sheep: Crisis, Trauma, and Everyday Life”—was explored in two keynote addresses by Archpriest Dr. Steven Voytovich, Dean of Saint Tikhon’s Seminary, South Canaan, PA, and numerous workshops. Father Steven focused on mental health and development in youth and young adults, as well as burnout and self-care for pastors and youth workers. Workshops focused on ministering to young veterans, responding to crises at camp, building effective young adult ministries, developing youth ministry programs in smaller parishes, and planting and expanding campus ministry efforts. Participants enjoy fellowship and exchange ideas and best practices. “This year saw a record number of both clergy and lay attendees from the OCA,” Mr. Boyd added. “Representatives from the Bulgarian Diocese, the Diocese of the Midwest, the Diocese of New England, the Diocese of New York and New Jersey, the Diocese of the South, and the Romanian Episcopate participated.” “I came away from the conference energized and ready to continue working with my parish’s lay leaders to deepen our youth ministry,” said Priest Justin Patterson. “I was also excited that the workshop I led on youth ministry in a small parish garnered so much interest and feedback. Coming home, I feel energized by what is happening in so many parishes across Orthodox America.” Attendees listen attentively before offering feedback and questions. His Grace, Bishop Thomas the Diocese of Oakland, Charleston, and the Mid-Atlantic of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America, who chairs the Youth Committee for the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the USA, presided at a meeting of that committee’s consultants, focusing on youth formation and opportunities for more Pan-Orthodox cooperation among the youth. Next year’s conference will be hosted by the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America from January 26-28, 2017 at a location yet to be determined. The Orthodox Church in America 5 февраля 2016 г.

| Fifteenth Anniversary of the Rebirth of Monastic Life in Sretensky Monastery. The First-Hierarch of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA) congratulates Archimandrite Tikhon and brothers of Sretensky Monastery/Православие.Ru Fifteenth Anniversary of the Rebirth of Monastic Life in Sretensky Monastery.

Indeed, there is much that unites the Orthodox Church in America with Sretensky Monastery. It is well known that the ever-memorable Bishop BASIL (Rodzianko) played an integral role in the spiritual formation of the brotherhood of Sretensky Monastery during the early 1990 " s. His Grace was a frequent visitor to your holy habitation and a spiritual advisor to many of the first monastics during the early years of the monastery. In addition, we know that our current Representative to the Russian Orthodox Church, Archimandrite Zacchaeus, while still a hieromonk and then later Igumen labored at Sretensky Monastery while continuing his education at St. Tikhon Orthodox Institute, thus also continuing the spiritual connection that exists between your monastery and the Orthodox Church in America. The brotherly love that exists between our Representative and the Abbot and the brotherhood of Sretensky Monastery is apparent and brings joy to my heart. It is with great fondness and spiritual joys that I remember my visits to Sretensky Monastery during the days of revival in the 1990 " s and then once again as the Primate of the Orthodox Church in America during my first Primatial visit earlier this year. 1 am also aware that you, dear Father Tikhon, with the blessing of the Most Holy Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia also received my two predecessors during their visits to Moscow, thus enabling them to see the positive work of the monastic brotherhood of Sretensky Monastery. |

At 4:00 p.m. on Friday—the day of the March—a two-day retreat titled “Pro-Life is Pro-Woman: An Orthodox Retreat on the Sanctity of Life” will open at the Orthodox Church in America’s Saint Nicholas Cathedral, 3500 Massachusetts Ave NW, Washington, DC.

We pray that many of our faithful will attend the weekend retreat as part of their ongoing faith formation.” For more information on the retreat or to register, please visit www.oca.org/marchforlife .

| Eastern Orthodox make strong showing at March for Life/Православие.Ru Eastern Orthodox make strong showing at March for Life Washington, D.C., January 27, 2014 L-R: Bishop John (Abdallah), Bishop Mark (Maymon), Archbishop Nathaniel (Popp), and Metropolitan Tikhon (Mollard) March for Life President Jeanne Monahan addressed concerns that the annual pro-life walk was too heavily Catholic, reaching out to evangelical Protestants. But based on the participation of Eastern Orthodox Christians in this year " s events, marchers may have been forgiven for believing the whole march breathed with the other lung. Every major event, and several minor ones, featured distinguished clergy from the world " s second largest Christian denomination. Archpriest John Jillions, the chancellor of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA), represented his church at the “National Memorial for the Preborn and their Mothers and Fathers,” an annual interdenominational prayer service held at Constitution Hall. The most visible participation came as Orthodox clergy filled the stage at the March for Life, which began with an invocation given by Bishop Demetrios (Kantzavelos), the Greek Orthodox bishop of Chicago. He prayed that the public witness would reach “civil authorities who have legislated against the rights of the unborn, jurists who have adjudicated against life, physicians who have not healed but have brought harm and death, parents who have made choices to end life in the womb – some callous and self-interested, others tragic and conflicted,” and “young persons raised in a culture that espouses a right for some to kill.” Bishop Demetrios, who also participated in the 2014 Chicago March for Life, said that supporting the right to abortion is based in “profound ignorance.” “Forgive them, Lord, for they know not what they do,” he said. He was joined on stage by the ruling hierarchy of the OCA (Metropolitan Tikhon, Bishop Melchisedek, Bishop Mark, Bishop Michael), as well as representatives of the Romanian Orthodox Church, Antiochian Orthodox Church, Armenian Orthodox Church, Syriac Orthodox Church, and a representative of the U.S. Catholic bishops. |
