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.
This is just so wrong.
ReplyDeleteAbbaMoses, please keep them coming - funniest thing I have read all day 😀 :-)
ReplyDeleteIs this an RC or an "Orthodox" 'service'?
ReplyDeleteI am gonna go out on a limb here and say that I have a high degree of confidence that this is NOT Orthodox. Whether it is Roman Catholic or some flavor of liturgical Protestantism is an open question.
DeletePfft... at least they aren't "in the Dark Ages". They must have consulted with someone from Fordham.
ReplyDeleteTakes care of any concerns about who can approach the chalice. Just say "Father, Son and Holy Spirit" as everyone dips in the pool and you're all covered.
ReplyDelete1. How did they consecrate that floating "altar" without melting it with the burning incense?
ReplyDelete2. How do they genuflect in this service?
Why? Just why? In ANY faith tradition.
ReplyDeleteSince people asked "Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio - Youth and Summer Camp Program"
ReplyDeleteThanks. That's very helpful.
DeleteAnd at $260 for a week, disgustingly expensive for seeking Poseidon.
DeleteMake-believe sacraments from a make-believe "church". Phew! But to showyou thestate of the Church, I was ready to believe it was a Roman Mass.
ReplyDeleteInstead of liturgical dancers they have liturgical synchronized swimmers.

ReplyDeleteIn order to break the rigid traditionalists of their medieval habit of kneeling during the consecration, the modern priest may be forced to make it dangerous, if not impossible, to do so.

ReplyDeleteAnd let all who thirst, let them come to the water....
ReplyDeleteIf this is really a supposed service, it tells you just about all you need to know about the Western world right now, and about the state of Episcopalianism. Those poor young people. Even more, our poor Lord. This is what people think is worship of Him? He deserves better.
