The liturgical singing was performed by the parish choir conducted by Ms. Anastasia Ivanova. The Lesser Blessing of the church of All Saints became a real feast for the whole community. There were tears of joy and emotion in the eyes of many of those present. Indeed, only recently there used to be an abandoned lot at the site of the church. The construction of the church of All Saints and the parish spiritual and cultural center began five years ago, on December 4, 2013. The plot is given to the Russian Orthodox community by the city of Strasbourg for rent for 99 years. All the construction work was carried out on private donations. Those who made nominal donations are listed in the Lepta (contribution) Book, and people pray for them. The book counts already about a thousand names. |

Information and funeral arrangements are available at the web site of the Antiochian Archdiocese: www.antiochian.org/MetropolitanPhilip ASSEMBLY OF CANONICAL ORTHODOX BISHOPS OF NORTH AND CENTRAL AMERICA Office of the Chairman Blessed are those who die in the Lord from now on…for they will rest from their labors; for their works follow them (Revelation 14:13) To the Most Reverend Hierarchs, Priests and Deacons, the Monks and Nuns, the Presidents and Members of Parish Councils, the Day, Afternoon, and Church Schools, the Members of Philanthropic Organizations, the Youth and Youth Workers, and the entire Antiochian Orthodox Christian Family of North America. On the evening of March 19, 2014 we received the sad news of the passing of His Eminence Metropolitan Philip, our dear and beloved brother and concelebrant in Christ. The repose of His Eminence, being sudden and unexpected, caused a profound pain in my heart and the entire Orthodox Christian family in the United States of America. For more than 15 years I have had the opportunity and privilege to work closely with Metropolitan Philip. As the First Vice-Chairman of SCOBA and most recently as the First Vice-Chairman of the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of North and Central America, he passionately supported a common witness to our Orthodox faith in the world. It is well known that he spoke his mind openly on a number of important issues and would often challenge inactivity surrounding serious issues, which he felt Orthodoxy could address in unique and important ways. |

His Eminence Metropolitan Philip expressed his gratitude to His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia for his support in this difficult time and asked him “to remember the victims of this barbarism” in his prayers.

| Archive Parishioners of the Russian Orthodox Church representation in Beirut attend festive Divine Liturgy in the city of Zahle 23 June 2020 year 10:48 On 21 June 2020, the Day of All the Saints Who Shone Forth in the Russian Land, the community of the Beirut representation of the Russian Orthodox Church, led by their rector, Archimandrite Philip (Vasiltsev), made a pilgrimage to the city of Zahle at the invitation of Metropolitan Anthony of Zahle and Baalbek. On that day, there were celebrations there on the occasion of Metropolitan Anthony’s 50th birthday. During the Sunday Liturgy at the St. Nicholas cathedral in Zahle, His Eminence Anthony was assisted by the rector of the Beirut representation of the Russian Orthodox Church Archimandrite Philip (Vasiltsev) and the diocesan clergy. The service was held in Arabic and Church Slavonic; the diocesan choir and the choir of the ROC Beirut representation conducted by Ms. Ye. Baranova sang. Following the Prayer after Communion, Metropolitan Anthony addressed himself to the parishioners and members of the Russian Orthodox Church community with an archpastoral homily. Then Archimandrite Philip read out a congratulatory message from the chairman of the Moscow Patriarchate department for external church relations Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk to Metropolitan Anthony on the occasion of his 50th birthday. The message reads: ‘Your Eminence, Dear Vladyka! Kindly accept my cordial congratulations on your 50th birthday. From your youth you have fully devoted your life to the service of the Church. After receiving an excellent theological education, you have chosen the narrow monastic path of withdrawal from the world and subjection to the will of God. With great diligence you served as abbot of the Bkeftin Monastery of the Dormition gaining a considerable spiritual and pastoral experience. Our Lord the Chief Pastor Jesus Christ, looking on your work and humble heart, has called you to the lofty archpastoral ministry. In the person of Your Eminence the faithful of the Metropolis of Zahle have acquired an authoritative spiritual father and wise pastor. During my visit last autumn to your cathedral city at the invitation of its outstanding native the Most Reverend Metropolitan Niphon, I could personally see that you are a model for your flock in speech, in love, in spirit, in faith and in purity (cf. 1 Tim. 4:12). |

| St. Vladimir " s Seminary trustees attend conference on Christian witness in the Middle East/Православие.Ru St. Vladimir " s Seminary trustees attend conference on Christian witness in the Middle East Yonkers, NY, July 7, 2011 Two trustees from St. Vladimir " s Orthodox Theological Seminary, Board Chair Ann Glynn-Mackoul and the Rev. Dr. Philip LeMasters, recently attended an international conference titled “Christian Presence and Witness in the Middle East Today: Theological and Political Challenges. " The conference was held June 19–23, 2011 in Volos, Greece at the invitation of the World Council of Churches and the Volos Theological Academy and was hosted by His Eminence, Metropolitan Ignatius of Demetrias. The thirty participants included theological scholars, social scientists, politicians, and church representatives, primarily from Orthodox churches in the Middle East but also including representatives from other Christian bodies in that region. At the Volos conference, participants first examined the relevance and the different aspects of the " Kairos Document " issued in December 2009 by Palestinian Christians from all church traditions. Second, they analyzed the socio-political challenges facing the Christians in the Middle East against the background of the recent uprisings in the Arab World. And finally, they listened to Christian witnesses from different parts of the region. During his presentation, Fr. Philip, a priest of the Orthodox Antiochian Archdiocese of North America and dean of Faculty of Social Sciences at McMurry University, spoke on " Orthodox Approaches to Non-violent Resistance. " After first reviewing the roots of the conception in the life and teaching of Jesus Christ, he turned to the martyrs and confessors who, with their non-violent resistance, confronted and refused to obey the secular powers’ demands that they abandon their faith. “Though I had the honor of presenting a paper on non-violent resistance,” commented Fr. Philip, “my main function at the conference was to learn by hearing firsthand accounts of the struggles and opportunities faced by our brothers and sisters in Christ in the land of our Lord’s birth. I came away from Volos with a heightened interest in the complex political and religious dynamics of the region and a number of new insights to share with my students and parishioners.” |
