  • Archdiocesan History FINAL
    A History of the Archdiocese of Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania Kristie Bosko Mertz, Ph.D. “…the more I study the history of the Orthodox Church in this land, the more convinced I become that our task here is God’s task, that God Himself helps us.” 1 — St. Patriarch Tikhon, Farewell Address, March 7, 1907 Introduction The history of our archdiocese is inextricably bound to the larger history of Orthodoxy in America. What is now known as the Archdiocese of Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania began in 1916 with the tonsuring and consecration of Fr. Alexander Dzubay as Bishop Stephen, within the former North American Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church. His situation, in terms of being an immigrant of Carpatho-Russian ethnicity and a convert to Orthodoxy from the Byzantine Catholic (Greek Catholic) faith, was in no way unique at that time. However, it provides us with a glimpse of the evolving religious landscape and the foundation that was laid for the creation of the archdiocese and for its subsequent development. The Beginning of Orthodoxy in America Orthodoxy in America began in 1794, when Russian missionaries from Valaam Monastery arrived at Kodiak Island in the Aleutian Islands.1 The beginning of Orthodoxy in this country was found mainly in the future state of Alaska (which was a part of Russia) and in California, but very quickly grew up in the industrial areas of the United States such as Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New York, and West Virginia. The entirety of North America and Canada was one large diocese with very scattered Orthodox communities.

  • Music at Seminary
    sn 0 SPRING 2006 music at seminary Message from the Metropolitan Dearly Beloved in Christ, Every year, Orthodox Christian men and women hear the Lord’s call to study theology at our seminaries. The student of theology must hear and obey the Lord’s words: Whoever would be first among you must be your slave (Matthew 20:27). Faithful service as a choir director, teacher, deacon, priest, or bishop requires emulation of the Lord and study of His Word. The life of the sn Church through history provides many lessons for Christians of the twenty-first century.To faithfully serve Christ today requires that we study the lives of our fathers in the faith, the per- secutions the Church has endured in the name of Christ, and the triumphs of the truth of the Gospel in the face of great resistance. Martin Paluch The Dean of St Vladimir’s Seminary has been guiding our seminarians through the study of the Church’s his- tory as a lay professor for many years. I am grateful to the Lord that I was able to ordain John Erickson to the Holy Diaconate on the feast of the Three Holy Hierarchs, the patrons of the seminary’s chapel, and to the Holy Priesthood on May 7, 2006. Father John is now called to renewed service to God’s people at the Holy Table. Please join me in fervent prayer for Father John in his ministry as a professor, as Dean of St Vladimir’s, and as a servant of the Lord. With love in Christ, +HERMAN Archbishop of Washington and New York Metropolitan of All America and Canada President, Saint Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary 2 • SPRING 2006 sn 0 contents spotlight at the seminary Robert Lisak MESSAGE FROM THE CAMPUS CHRONICLE ON THE COVER METROPOLITAN Seminary activities from April 2005 through February 2006 Students, such as Gregory Ealy and Ksenia Words of congratulations from Danylevich, study theories of chant as well Metropolitan Herman of the OCA to the 8 as practice singing and conducting for dean on the occasion of his ordination DOWN THE ROAD chapel services all in preparation for service Events calendar to the Church.

  • Pag Annual Report 06
    elcome to the CSC Annual Report for 2008. At a time of serious economic difficulties and political challenges, it is good to reflect on the words of St Paul: “May you, in com- pany with all God’s people, be strong to grasp what is the Wbreadth and length and height and depth of Christ’s love”. (Ephesians 3:18-19). 2008 was far from easy for Europe’s political institutions. On 12 June, the voters of Ireland rejected the Lisbon Treaty on the reform of the EU. The year ended with many European nations being affected by the economic recession. Yet the European integration process continues; agree- ment was reached for Slovakia to adopt the Euro at the start of 2009. CSC’s work on addressing the challenge of climate change was high- lighted by the Assembly of the European Christian Environmental Network, held in Milan, Italy, on 24- 28 September. This was al- so a major issue in dis- cussions between religious leaders and the Presidents of the EU Institutions on Ms Anthea Cox Co-moderator 5 May in Brussels. CSC celebrated the 60th anniversary of the Univer- sal Declaration of Human Rights on 10 December 2008 and produced com- memorative postcards and bookmarks, which have been well received. In 2008 the integration between CEC and the Churches' Commission for Migrants in Europe (CCME) was for- mally agreed. Looking ahead, 2009 will be a year of anniversaries. CEC will celebrate its 50th anniversary. CSC will also celebrate 10 years as part of CEC; the former European Ecumenical Commission for Church and Society was created 25 years ago; one of its founding streams, the Ecumenical Association, even dates back to 1959.

Archimandrite Sebastian Dabovich SERBIAN ORTHODOX APOSTLE TO AMERICA by Hieromonk Damascene . A A U S during the presidency of Abraham Lincoln, Archimandrite B Sebastian Dabovich has the distinction of being the first person born in the United States of America to be ordained as an Orthodox priest, 1 and also the first native-born American to be tonsured as an Orthodox monk. His greatest distinction, however, lies in the tremen- dous apostolic, pastoral, and literary work that he accomplished dur- ing the forty-eight years of his priestly ministry. Known as the “Father of Serbian Orthodoxy in America,” 2 he was responsible for the found- ing of the first Serbian churches in the New World. This, however, was only one part of his life’s work, for he tirelessly and zealously sought to spread the Orthodox Faith to all peoples, wherever he was called. He was an Orthodox apostle of universal significance. Describing the vast scope of Fr. Sebastian’s missionary activity, Bishop Irinej (Dobrijevic) of Australia and New Zealand has written: 1 Alaskan-born priests were ordained before Fr. Sebastian, but this was when Alaska was still part of Russia. 2 Mirko Dobrijevic (later Irinej, Bishop of Australia and New Zealand), “The First American Serbian Apostle—Archimandrite Sebastian Dabovich,” Again, vol. 16, no. 4 (December 1993), pp. 13–14.

  • Between Forgiveness and Indulgence: Funerary Prayers of Absolution in Russia
    BETWEEN FORGIVENESS AND INDULGENCE: FUNERARY PRAYERS OF ABSOLUTION IN RUSSIA Nikolaos Chrissidis The custom o f placing a written prayer of absolution in the hands o f the deceased right before burial is attested in Russia since medieval times. The text of the prayer varied even after the appearance o f printed litur­ gical books. The essay analyzes the text o f the prayer as it crystallized by the 19th century (and is in use to this day) and compares it to Eastern Orthodox synchorochartia (patriarchal letters of absolution). The conclu­ sion is that since the late 19th century (if not before) Russians have been When Tsar Fedor Alekseevich died on 27 April 1682, the funeral rites were conducted by Patriarch loakim (in office 1674-1690) with all the customary pomp and circumstance befitting the exalted deceased. Towards the end of the burial rite, and just before the interment o f the body in the Archangel Michael Cathedral of the Moscow Kremlin, Patriarch loakim deposited a prayer of absolution (molitvu proshcheniia) into the hands of the departed. Shortly thereafter the body was carried to its final resting place.1 loakim’s last action reflected an ancient Russian custom, which gave the 1 “O prestavlenii i pogrebenii Gosudaria Tsaria i Velikogo Kniazia Feodora Alekseevicha,” 211-212.
