ΑΝΑΚΟΙΝΩΣΙΣ

Πρός τόν Ἱερόν Κλῆρον καί τό ποίμνιον τῆς Ἐκκλησίας

Σεβαστοί Πατέρες καί Ἀγαπητά Τέκνα ἐν Κυρίῳ,

Ὁ Χριστός ἐν τῷ μέσῳ ἡμῶν!

Ὁ Σεβασμιώτατος Μητροπολίτης κ.κ. Δημήτριος ἐζήτησε ἀπό τό Συμβούλιο τῶν Πρεσβυτέρων να πληροφορήσει
τούς σεβαστούς πατέρες καί πιστούς περί τῶν σπουδαίων γεγονότων πού λαμβάνουν χώραν εἰς τήν Ἱεράν ἡμῶν
Σύνοδον.

Κατά τήν διάρκειαν τῆς Μεγάλης Ἑβδομάδος, ἡ Ἱερά Σύνοδος τῆς Ἑλλάδος θά ἀρχίσει τίς προετοιμασίες διά
τήν παρασκευήν τοῦ Ἁγίου Χρίσματος, οἱ ὁποῖες θά τελειώσουν μέ τόν καθαγιασμόν (τοῦ Ἁγίου Χρίσματος) την
Μεγάλη Πέμπτη, μετά τό πέρας τῆς Θείας Λειτουργίας. Ὁ Σεβασμιώτατος, κατόπιν αἰτήσεως τῆς Ἁγίας Συνόδου
τῆς Ἑλλάδος, θά παρευρεθεῖ στόν καθαγιασμόν τήν Μεγάλην Πέμπτην.

Ἐπίσης, ἒχοντας ἐπικυρώσει τήν αἲτησιν τοῦ Μητροπολίτου Δημητρίου νά ἐκλεγεῖ καί ἄλλος ἐπίσκοπος γιά τήν
ἐν Ἀμερικῇ Ἐκκλησία μας, ἡ Ἱερά Σύνοδος θά συναχθεῖ πρός ἐκλογήν ἐπισκόπου τήν Τρίτην τοῦ Πάσχα. Με τήν
χάριν τοῦ Ἁγίου Πνεύματος, ἡ χειροτονία τοῦ νεοεκλεγέντος ἐπισκόπου θά λάβει χώραν τό Σάββατον τοῦ Πάσχα
εἰς τήν Ἑλλάδα.

Ὁ Σεβασμιώτατος ζητᾶ τίς προσευχές σας, ὥστε νά ἒχει μία εἰρηνική Μεγάλη Ἑβδομάδα καί Πάσχα, καί νά ἒχει
ἓνα ἀσφαλές ταξίδι στήν Ἑλλάδα.

Εἲθε ὁ Κύριος ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦς Χριστός νά χαρίσει εἰς πάντας ἡμᾶς εὐλογημένον τό ὑπόλοιπον τῆς Μεγάλης
Τεσσαρακοστῆς, μία σεπτή Μεγάλη Ἑβδομάδα καί χαρούμενο Πάσχα.

Οἱ ἐν Χριστῷ ὑπηρέται ὑμῶν,

Orthodox Awareness

A Miracle of Saint Spyridon

This miracle of Saint Spyridon took place in Mandra, Greece in 1926.

It was 12/25 December, 1926. The state Church of Greece adopted the Papal calendar and with the help of the Greek government persecuted all those who did not accept the Papal calendar. The faithful Orthodox Christians of Mandra woke up and headed to their Church to celebrate the Feast of Saint Spyridon. When they reached the Church they saw that the door to the Church had been secured with chains and the faithful could not enter. Before leaving the Church to return to their homes they stuck their candles on the door. As soon as the last person placed his candles on the door

the chains broke and fell. The faithful, confirmed in their Faith, entered the Church and celebrated the Feast of Saint Spyridon.

The miracle was reported the next day by the newspaper Skrip.

Missions

Saints Peter and Paul Orthodox Mission, Tucson, Arizona

Saints Peter and Paul Orthodox Church is a beautiful mission parish near downtown Tucson, a city in southern Arizona. It was started in 1997 by Father John Bockman, who was a missionary Priest formerly serving missions in Tennessee and Massachusetts since 1990. Father John served the faithful in Tucson and the surrounding area in his home Chapel until his repose in November of 2000. His wife, Presbytera Valerie, continued to make her home Chapel available for the mission, with clergy from Saint Nectarios Orthodox Church in Seattle and His Eminence, Metropolitan Moses of Toronto (then of Portland), visiting to provide the Divine Services.

Ask A Priest

Is the GOC Insular?

Q. In considering becoming part of the GOC in America, I am getting warnings from various circles that the attitude of GOC people is that of being “walled off,” “arrogant,” “judgmental,” and “in your face” toward those not in the Genuine Orthodox Church, with accusations such as “World Orthodox” priests are “not even Christians” and the like. Could you give me your personal, realistic assessment of this dynamic and possibly refer me to an official statement on how GOC members should and do relate to and communicate with those in “World Orthodoxy”?
