MEETING OF HIERARCHS
On Wednesday, June 11th, His Eminence,
Metropolitan PHILIP received the newly elected
and enthroned Metropolitan of the Russian
Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR),
His Eminence, HILARION. His Eminence was
elected and enthroned in May as the First
Hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church
Outside of Russia in New York City following the
death of His Eminence, Metropolitan LAURUS.
It was the first meeting ever of these bishops; they
exchanged greetings and presented each other
with gifts. They pledged to work together and
cooperate as they both work to build up the
body of Christ on this continent and begin a
new chapter in the history of inter-Orthodox
Church relations in North America.
ORTHODOXY IN AMERICA
The Romanian Orthodox Episcopate in America
(OCA) announced that a Proposal to unite the
two Romanian eparchies in North America under
the Church of Romania would be presented to the
Episcopate Congress. The press release stated:
"...the Episcopate Council voted that it (the
Proposal) next be presented to the annual session
of the Episcopate Congress on July 4-5 at the
Episcopate headquarters in Grass Lake, Michigan.
His Eminence, Archbishop Nathaniel has stated
that he will place it on the agenda for discussion at
the Clergy Conference, on July 3. The complexity
of a potential unity of the two bodies, which have
existed separately for some 60 years, will necessitate
that practical, legal and financial matters, etc.,
also be studied and agreed upon."
"It was clearly stated that the JDC (Joint Dialogue
Commission) had not been in Romania in
February to discuss a return under the Romanian
Patriarchate, and that any future relationship
would have to be recognized as a step forward
toward the inevitable, unified Orthodox
Church in North America. At the same time,
His Beatitude, Patriarch Daniel made a far-reaching
proposal which the JDC considered to be a
step in that direction. It therefore discussed the
matter with its counterpart in the ROAA
(Romanian Orthodox Archdiocese of America) on
April 14, 2008. This resulted in a detailed
'Proposal to Establish a Romanian Orthodox
Metropolitanate of North America' into a single
entity, in canonical relationship with (not under)
the Romanian Orthodox Church. The archbishops
of both eparchies, NATHANIEL (Popp) and
NICOLAE (Condrea), have given their blessings to
forward this proposal."
