OCA takes strong stand for canonical Orthodoxy
( Orthochristian.com ) - The primate of the Orthodox Church in America, His Beatitude Metropolitan Tikhon of Washington and All America and Canada, will concelebrate with the primate of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church, His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry of Kiev and All Ukraine, in western Ukraine later this week. The Ukrainian Orthodox Diocese of Chernivtsi and Bukovina “awaits the visit of the primate of the Orthodox Church in America on June 1–2, 2024. Solemn services will be held in the Cathedral of the Descent of the Holy Spirit in Chernivtsi, with the participation of both primates.” The Holy Synod of the Orthodox Church in America formally rejects communion with the schismatics of the “Orthodox Church in Ukraine,” recognizing only the canonical UOC under Met. Onuphry. The Ukrainian primate was the honored guest at the OCA’s 18th All-American Council in July 2015.
Notre Dame where? Paris? Indiana?
ReplyDeleteParis. How intriguing!
ReplyDeleteImagine the acoustics!
ReplyDeleteWhat was the occasion? (as in, why were they having it in Notre Dame?)
ReplyDeleteOctober 14, 2012, Metropolitan Emmanuel, Exarch of the Patriarch of Constantinople in France and President of the Assembly of Orthodox Bishops, celebrated at Notre-Dame de Paris Orthodox Vespers in honor of Dionysius the Areopagite and Saint Denis, the martyr, the first bishop of Paris. Two choirs accompanied the celebration of the Greek Orthodox Cathedral Saint-Etienne and the choir of Russian Orthodox Seminary Epinay-sous-Sénart. The Orthodox were greeted at the Notre Dame Cathedral by Bishop Eric de Moulins-Beaufort, Auxiliary Bishop Paris.
