Introduction Page 4 2014 AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND DIOCESE OF THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH OUTSIDE OF RUSSIA GOOD GOVERNANCE IN OUR CHURCH COMMUNITIES Preface This conference is being held with the blessing of the Ruling Bishop, his Eminence Metropolitan Hilarion. It is the 2nd of its kind to date. The 1st was held in March 2011. It is the intention of the Diocese to conduct similar conferences on an annual basis, if the resources allow this. These Conferences are targeted at Diocesan and Parish Church Wardens, Treasurers and Senior Sisters, as the senior office bearers within the Church Communities. It is not obligatory, but highly recommended, for Rectors to attend and participate in these conferences as, after all, they are Chairpersons of the Parish Councils and bear the final responsibility for the conduct of their respective Parish's administrative functions. The objective is to familiarise the senior office bearers, current and future, with their responsibilities as required by the Diocesan and Synodal By-Laws, Ukazes and current policies and procedures. From a broader view, the Diocese expects all Church Communities to function in a responsible and accountable manner, mindful of the requirements from the Synod, Diocese, civil authorities and community expectations. The Diocese is aware that these conferences are seen by some as an imposed initiative. The Diocese firmly believes that these conferences are necessary in the interests of good governance in our church communities. The Diocese would be delighted to receive constructive suggestions how to improve future conferences with respect to content, participation, presentation or any other matters. Introduction Page 5 2014 AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND DIOCESE OF THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH OUTSIDE OF RUSSIA GOOD GOVERNANCE IN OUR CHURCH COMMUNITIES Conference Objectives 1. Ensure that all Parish Officials are aware of i. the interrelationships that need to exist between the Parishes and the Diocese, and ii. the obligations of the Parishes to the Diocese. 2. Introduce and/or reinforce the pivotal documents that govern the Parishes: i. Act of NSW Parliament: Russian Orthodox Church (NSW) Property Trust Act 1991 ii. Normal Parish By-Laws and associated Diocesan Statutes, iii. Episcopal decrees, iv. Synodal Statutes, e.g., Sisterhoods, v. Diocesan procedures and guidelines issued by the Diocese. Introduction Page 6 2014 AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND DIOCESE OF THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH OUTSIDE OF RUSSIA GOOD GOVERNANCE IN OUR CHURCH COMMUNITIES Section 1: Governance A: Key aspects i. The following comments are made without in any way impinging upon the apostolic authority of the Ruling Bishop. ii. Governance (управление, руководство), with its associated policies, procedures and guidelines, is a management system with controls and checks that are judged to be appropriate and necessary for the Diocese to function in a responsible and accountable manner. iii. From an administrative point of view, the Diocese is accountable to its members, its flock, and to the civil authorities of our country. It also needs to be mindful of community expectations in the broadest sense. iv. Elements of governance have always existed in the administration of our Church. The obvious examples are Canons of the Church Fathers, Ukazes from the Ruling Bishop, Parish By-Laws authorised by the Synod and the Church Property Trust Act to name a few. v. Governance is one mechanism for providing leadership. vi. It is a means to ensure that our Church stays viable and true to its purpose through identification and dealing with potential

    “JUST AS THE PRIESTS HAVE THEIR WIVES”: PRIESTS AND CONCUBINES IN ENGLAND, 1375-1549 Janelle Werner A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Advisor: Professor Judith M. Bennett Reader: Professor Stanley Chojnacki Reader: Professor Barbara J. Harris Reader: Cynthia B. Herrup Reader: Brett Whalen © 2009 Janelle Werner ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JANELLE WERNER: “Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549 (Under the direction of Judith M. Bennett) This project – the first in-depth analysis of clerical concubinage in medieval England – examines cultural perceptions of clerical sexual misbehavior as well as the lived experiences of priests, concubines, and their children. Although much has been written on the imposition of priestly celibacy during the Gregorian Reform and on its rejection during the Reformation, the history of clerical concubinage between these two watersheds has remained largely unstudied. My analysis is based primarily on archival records from Hereford, a diocese in the West Midlands that incorporated both English- and Welsh-speaking parishes and combines the quantitative analysis of documentary evidence with a close reading of pastoral and popular literature. Drawing on an episcopal visitation from 1397, the act books of the consistory court, and bishops’ registers, I argue that clerical concubinage occurred as frequently in England as elsewhere in late medieval Europe and that priests and their concubines were, to some extent, socially and culturally accepted in late medieval England.

  • 35-Burial of the Dead
    REGARDING CHRISTIAN DEATH AND BURIAL The burial of a Christian is an occasion of both sorrow and joy—our sorrow in the face of death, and our joy in Jesus’ promise of the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. As the burial liturgy proclaims, “life is changed, not ended; and when our mortal body lies in death, there is prepared for us a dwelling place eternal in the heavens.” The Christian burial liturgy looks forward to eternal life rather than backward to past events. It does not primarily focus on the achievements or failures of the deceased; rather, it calls us to proclaim the Good News of Jesus and his triumph over death, even as we celebrate the life and witness of the deceased. The readings should always be drawn from the Bible, and the prayers and music from the Christian tradition. A wake preceding the service and a reception following the service are appropriate places for personal remembrances. Where possible, the burial liturgy is conducted in a church, and it is often celebrated within the context of the Eucharist. The Book of Common Prayer has always admonished Christians to be mindful of their mortality. It is therefore the duty of all Christians, as faithful stewards, to draw up a Last Will and Testament, making provision for the well-being of their families and not neglecting to leave bequests for the mission of the Church. In addition, it is important while in health to provide direction for one’s own funeral arrangements, place of burial, and the Scripture readings and hymns of the burial liturgy, and to make them known to the Priest.

  • The Great and Holy Synod and Why It Is Important for Orthodoxy (Continued)
    The Great and Holy Synod And Why It is Important for Orthodoxy (continued) The Great and Holy Council—June 2016 There are significant logistics associated with a meeting like this. First, each “Autocephalous” Church will be allowed to be represented by up to 24 Bishops. So, that means 24 Bishops under the jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarch will participate, and 24 (out of more than 800) bishops under the Patriarchate of Moscow will participate, etc. Thus, there can be equal representation from all the churches. (Oriental Orthodox Churches will not be participating in this Synod because they are not in communion with the Ecumenical Patriarchate). There will also be observers from the Roman Catholic and some Protestant Churches. With the potential of hundreds of hierarchs and their delegations, with translators, researchers, writers, etc., and with the need to record these events for posterity, there is a lot of infrastructure issues to be worked through. There were initially ten agenda items to be discussed, with sub-items under each topic. These topics had been discussed in gatherings of Orthodox Bishops beginning in 1977. The initial ten items included: a. Orthodox Diaspora b. Autocephaly and its manner of proclamation c. Autonomy and its manner of proclamation d. The Diptychs e. The matter of a common calendar f. Impediments of marriage g. Adaptation of church regulations on fasting h. Relations of the Orthodox Churches with the rest of the Christian world i. Orthodoxy and the Ecumenical Movement j. Contribution of the local Orthodox Church to the prevalence of the Christian ideals of peace, liberty, brotherhood and love among people, and the lifting of racial and other discrimination.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See ORIENTALIS ECCLESIAE ENCYCLICAL OF POPE PIUS XII ON SAINT CYRIL, PATRIARCH OF ALEXANDRIA TO OUR VENERABLE BRETHREN THE PATRIARCHS, PRIMATES, ARCHBISHOPS, BISHIOPS, AND OTHER ORDINARIES AT PEACE AND IN COMMUNION WITH THE APOSTOLIC SEE Venerable Brethren, Health and Our Apostolic Benediction. St. Cyril, Patriarch of Alexandria, glory of the Eastern Church and celebrated champion of the Virgin Mother of God, has always been held by the Church in the highest esteem, and We welcome the opportunity of recalling his merits in this brief Letter, now that fifteen centuries have passed since he happily exchanged this earthly exile for his heavenly home. 2. Our Predecessor St. Celestine I hailed him as 'good defender of the Catholic faith,'[1] as 'excellent priest,'[2] as 'apostolic man.'[3] The ecumenical Council of Chalcedon not only used his doctrine for the detecting and refuting of the latest errors, but went so far as to compare it with the learning of St. Leo the Great;[4] and in fact the latter praised and commended the writings of this great Doctor because of their perfect agreement with the faith of the holy Fathers.[5] The fifth ecumenical Council, held at Constantinople, treated St. Cyril's authority with similar reverence[6] and many years later, during the controversy about the two wills in Christ, his teaching was rightly and triumphantly vindicated, both in the first Lateran Council [7] and in the sixth ecumenical Council, against the false charge of being tainted with the error of Monothelitism. He was, as Our saintly Predecessor Agatho proclaimed, 'a defender of the truth'[8] and 'a consistent teacher of the orthodox faith.'[9] 3.

  • The Great and Holy Synod and Why It Is Important for Orthodoxy
    The Great and Holy Synod And Why It is Important for Orthodoxy Background Information—The Ecumenical Councils In the year 325, the Emperor Constantine convened the First Ecumenical Council in Nicea. Why? To put order where there was chaos. In the first three centuries of Christianity, the church was underground and persecuted. When Christianity became the legal religion of the Roman Empire in the early 4th century, as the churches of the various cities began communicating openly, there was disagreement, even scandal and heresy, because there was not agreement on basic tenets of the faith. The First Ecumenical Council gathered all the bishops of all the churches together, and after deliberation and prayer, the result of this Council was the Nicene Creed (our confession of faith) and the Canon of Scripture. Between 325 and 787, seven such Councils were held, which have given us the backbone of our Orthodox theology and praxis. For a Council to be truly “Ecumenical”, it means that all the churches are involved. Following the Great Schism in 1054, and now the further fracturing of Christianity into thousands of denominations, it is not possible to have a Council that is truly “Ecumenical.” The Autocephalous Churches In the Ancient Church, there were five “Patriarchates”—Rome, Constantinople, Jerusalem, Antioch and Alexandria. It is not the Orthodox “tradition” to have one “pope” who speaks infallibly for the whole church. Rather, our system of governance is “collegial” or “synodical.” There were, in the beginning, five autocephalous, or self- governing churches, each being led by a “Patriarch.” The Patriarch of Constantinople is recognized as the “Ecumenical Patriarch.” While he does not have administrative authority over the “Autocephalous” Churches, when all the churches gather together, he sits as the “first among equals.” The Seven Ecumenical Councils, or Synods, were convened under the “synodical” system that was the “tradition” among the ancient Patriarchates.

  • A Guide to Funeral Planning
    St. John the Beloved Catholic Church McLean, Virginia INTRODUCTION On behalf of all your fellow parishioners, the priests and staff of Saint John the Beloved Church extend to your family our prayerful sympathy in this time of loss and grief. There are many people praying for you and with you. The hundreds of members of the St. John Prayer Chain are lifting you up in prayer. At Sunday Mass we all will be praying for your loved one and your family. On the first Saturday after All Souls Day we will be together and pray for all those who passed away in the previous year. You are not alone. When we gather for the Mass of Christian Burial at St. John the Beloved we also transcend time and join the faithful sinners and saints who have offered up the same prayers for their loved ones over the past twenty centuries. In the ancient tradition of the classic Requiem Mass, we can feel our prayers carried aloft by the angels with the Sacred Scriptures and monastic chants that have been used at the burial rites of Christians for far more than one thousand years. In the Sacred Liturgy we experience the consolation of praying with each other, with the whole Church, with all the saints and with Jesus Christ Himself and of having them pray for us. This tangible connection with the Communion of Saints, those who pray for us in heaven and even those who still need us to pray for them, can be a comfort and consolation for us as we mourn the loss of a loved one.
