  • Bidding Farewell to Archbishop and Metropolitan-Emeritus Stephen Sulyk (1924-2020)
    Bidding Farewell to Archbishop and Metropolitan-Emeritus Stephen Sulyk (1924-2020) Bidding Farewell to Archbishop and Metropolitan-Emeritus Stephen Sulyk (1924-2020) With natural sadness but also with Paschal hope the Philadelphia Archeparchy bids farewell to Metropolitan-Emeritus Stephen Sulyk. As a priest and bishop,he was a dedicated minister of the Lord in the Archeparchy for 65 years since his priestly ordination in 1955. We thank God for his life and raise prayers of gratitude for his service. The coronavirus pandemic, to which evidently the Archbishop succumbed at the age of 95, does not allow us to come together for the funeral. Thus, we are called to unite in prayer and spirit from our homes. When the danger for our clergy and faithful passes we will celebrate a requiem in which all can participate. In the name of our deceased Metropolitan, I thank all the bishops, clergy, religious, and faithful that worked with him over the many decades of his service in America. He is grateful to all of you, as he himself expressed during the joyful, warm celebration of his 95th birthday in October held at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. He appreciated the collegiality shown by Roman Catholic bishops, clergy and communities, as well as the fellowship shared with our Orthodox brothers and sisters. He valued the decades of cooperation with various community organizations. We are most grateful for the services and kindnesses rendered to the Metropolitan by Ukrainian and Roman Catholic chaplains, religious, and laypersons during the two decades of his retirement. Especially I would like to thank Carol and Michael Nunno for the genuine friendship and singular service that you offered to Archbishop Stephen.

  • Policy Proposals to Regulate the Status of the Local Council Members (Policy Paper)
    Policy Proposals to Regulate the Status of the Local Council Members (Policy Paper) Authors: Kateryna Handzyuk, Serhiy Nikitenko JULY, 2017 Abstract The local elections in Ukraine conducted in October 2015 under a new law caused a number of problems and quite distorted the representation balance. In addition, the innovations introduced by the Law on the Status of Local Council Members into the council members recall procedure and mechanism based on the people’s initiative instigated tensions and conflicts on the ground. By analysing the modern Ukrainian practices, the authors propose the way out of the current complicated situation through amendment of the legislation and development of efficient instruments to regulate the representation problem with one of the proposals being assignment of each local council member to a certain constituency and making them accountable to its voters.

Chair: Mariya Omelicheva Robert Rohrschneider Nazli Avdan Steven Maynard-Moody Erik Herron Date Defended: 24 July 2017 The dissertation committee for Lidiya Zubytska certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Explaining Foreign Policy Change in Transitional States: A Case Study of Ukraine between Two Revolutions Chair: Mariya Omelicheva Date Approved: 24 July 2017 ii ABSTRACT Over the span of a decade, Ukraine saw two revolutions that rocked its political and social life to the very core. The Orange revolution of 2004, a watershed event in the post-Soviet history of East European states, reversed the authoritarian trend in the country and proclaimed its course for democracy and integration with the European Union. However, reforms and electoral promises of the revolutionary leaders quickly turned into shambles, and instead another pro- Russian authoritarian leader consolidated power. As Ukrainian political elites vacillated between closer ties with the EU to its west and the Russian Federation to its east, the 2014 Revolution of Dignity rose again to defend the European future for Ukraine. In this work, I investigate the driving forces shaping foreign policymaking in Ukraine during these years. I posit that it was precisely because such policies were shaped in an uncertain post-revolutionary transitional political environment that we are able to see seemingly contradictory shifts in Ukraine’s relations with the EU and Russia.

The confirmations came a day after a raucous inaugural session of the newly elected Parliament in which the oppo- sition forces – rejuvenated by the young radicals of the Svoboda nationalist party – brawled against the ongoing rule-breaking and alleged bribery of the Party of Regions. The violence confirmed the predictions of political observers that this seventh convocation of Ukraine’s Parliament would be mired in conflict as a result of the Mariana Karapinka via RISU radicalization of society under the corrupt rule of the Party Patriarch Sviatoslav Shevchuk with Bishop Borys Gudziak during his enthronement ceremony in Paris of Regions of Ukraine. at Notre Dame Cathedral. “The radical methods of the opposition, particularly Svoboda, emerged not because people who want to fight have gathered in the opposition.

    APRIL, 2018 EASTERN CHURCHES NEWS: EDITED BY FR. RON ROBERSON SEIA NEWSLETTER On the Eastern Churches and Ecumenism Number 271: April 30, 2018 Washington, DC The Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate Considers Requests for Ukrainian Autocephaly PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE PETRO POROSHENKO ON TUESDAY, APRIL 17, ANNOUNCED THE START OF THE PROCEDURE FOR THE CREATION OF A UNIFIED UKRAINIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH. The relevant agreement was reached at 7-hour long negotiations between Poroshenko and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and Synod members held during a presidential visit to Turkey, Poroshenko said at a meeting with heads of parliamentary factions on Tuesday. "Ukraine is as close as ever to the emergence of its own Unified Orthodox Church," the president said, adding that he cannot elaborate on all details of the agreements reached. A number of elements are needed for the process to see success, including, a corresponding appeal from UOC of the Kyiv Patriarchate and Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church, which has already been signed to Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew in a rare united move of the two churches, according to Poroshenko. Poroshenko expressed hope that the new UOC would be created before the 1030th anniversary of baptism of the Kyiv Rus and called on Parliament to support the appeal to Constantinople. The president called the developments around a possible creation of a United Orthodox Church which would not be subordinate to Moscow a "historic event." The president ruled out the possibility of banning any other churches in Ukraine and noted that the state will remain separated from church. – Unian, April 17. TODAY, APRIL 19, UKRAINIAN PARLIAMENTARIANS UPHELD THE PETITION OF PETRO POROSHENKO TO THE ECUMENICAL PATRIARCH ASKING HIM TO GRANT THE TOMOS OF AUTOCEPHALY TO THE ORTHODOX CHURCH IN UKRAINE.
