Тропарь Рождества Христова ( Глас 4) Рождество Твое, Христе Боже наш, возсия мирови свет разума, в нем бо звездам служащии звездою учахуся Тебе кланятися, Солнцу правды, и Тебе ведети с высоты востока. Господи, слава Тебе! Christmas Troparion (Tone 4) Thy nativity, O Christ our God, has shone forth to the world the light of reason, for in it those who worshipped the stars were 2 taught by a star to adore Thee, the Sun of Righteousness, and to know Thee the Orient from on high. O Lord, glory to Thee! Тропарь Крещения Господня ( Глас 1) Во Иордане крещающуся Тебе, Господи, Троическое явися поклонение: Родителев бо глас свидетельствоваше Тебе, возлюбленнаго Тя Сына именуя: и Дух в виде голубине извествоваше словесе утверждение: явлейся, Христе Боже, и мир просвещей, слава Тебе. Theophany Troparion (Tone 1) When Thou, O Lord wast baptised in the Jordan, the worship of the Trinity was revealed. For the voice of the Father bore witness unto Thee, calling Thee His beloved Son: and the Spirit, in the form of a dove, confirmed the truth of this word. Thou hast revealed Thyself, O Christ God, and enlightened the world, glory to Thee! Кто мы такие? Меня зовут протоиерей Андрей Филлипс. Мой отец был англичанин, а моя мать родилась в Англии, но у нее были русские корни. Я родился в Колчестере и учился в Англии. В молодости я часто ездил на велосипеде в греческий монастырь в Толшант Найтс Tolleshunt Knights в графстве Эссекс. Там я слушал беседы о.Софрония (Сахарова). В то время другой церкви поблизости не было и иначе приходилось ездить в церковь в Лондон. После учебы в Англии я год работал в Греции в г. Фессалониках а затем учился в Свято-Сергиевом Русском Православном Богословском Инситуте в Париже. Всю жизнь я работал учителем на полную ставку, а сейчас на полставки, т.к. большинство священнослужителей не получает заработную плату за свое служение, ведь наши приходы часто слишком малы и слишком бедны, чтобы платить своим батюшкам. В 1981 г. я был пострижен во чтеца митрополитом Антонием (Блюмом), а в 1985 г. рукоположен во священника в Париже для служения в Русской Православной Церкви Заграницей в г. Медоне недалеко от Парижа. В 1992 г. мы с прихожанами основали первый приход Русской Православной Церкви в г. Лиссабоне в Португалии. В 1997 г. мы с матушкой Сабиной и нашими шестерыми детьми вернулись из Франции в Англию и начали службы в г. Феликстоу, где мы снимали помещение для 3 богослужений и где мы с семьей живем до сих пор. Мы долгое время искали помещение для церкви в Ипсвиче и других крупных городах, где живут православные христиане, но это оказалось возможным лишь в 2008 гю. Наш приходской трест (номер благотворительной организации: 1081707) приобрел и оборудовал рекламированное помещение под храм свт. Иоанна Шанхайского в г. Колчестер. Наше место в Русской Православной Церкви Наш приход принадлежит к Русской Правосавной Церкви Зарубежом (РПЦЗ) (www.synod.com). Мы находимся под омофором Святейшего Патриарха Московского и Всея Руси Кирилла и являемся той частью Русской Православной Церкви, которая была основана в 1920 г. Святейшим Патриархом Тихоном, причисленным к лику святых в 1981 г. Вследствие политических гонений, которым подвергалась Церковь в СССР, РПЦЗ была основана как независимая ее часть. В настояшее время нашим правящим архиереем является архиепископ Марк. Владыка Марк проживает в Германии и регулярно посещает нашу церковь в Чизвике, г. Лондон, по адресу 57, Harvard Road. Русская Православная Церковь Заграницей (РПЦЗ) является самоуправляющей частью Русской Православной Церкви подобно другим автономным церквам, экзархатам и митрополиям, например, Украинской Православной Церкви Московского Патриархата, Белорусскому экзархату, Молдавской митрополии, Латвийской Православной Церкви. РПЦЗ имеет приходы по всему миру, но особенно много их в Северной Америке, Австралии и Германии. Епископат РПЦЗ насчитывает сегодня двенадцать епископов во главе с Предстоятелем митрополитом Нью-Йоркским и Восточно-американским Иларионом. Владыка митрополит Иларион посещал наш приход в 2009 г. в сопровождении архиепископа Марка, когда была превезена для поклонения Курская Коренная Икона Пресвятой Богородицы, как помнят некоторые из вас. У нас сложились очень хорошие, близкие отношения с Сурожской епархией Русской Православной Церкви Московского патриархата. Правящим архиереем Сурожской епархии является архиепископ Елисей, который живет при кафедральном соборе Успения Божией Матери г. Лондон на улице Ennismore Gardens. Один из священников епархии, о. Евгений Селенский проживает в г. Ипсвиче с матушкой Людмилой и сыновьями. О. Евгений регулярно помогает нашему приходу. Владыка Елисей приезжал служить в Колчестер на наш престольный праздник в июле 2009 г. (Наш престольный праздник празднуется в первую субботу после 2-го июля, в годовщину преставления свт. Иоанна (+ 1966 г)). Поскольку мы жили за пределами России в течение девяноста лет, состав РПЦЗ многонационален и мы служим и поем по крайнейей мере на двух языках, церковно- славянском и местном языке той страны, в которой осуществляет свое служение та или иная епархия. Мы стараемся чередовать языки на Божественной литургии с тем, чтобы присутствующие на ней прихожане, в основном здесь англичане и русские, могли бы, прийдя на службу два воскресенья подряд, услышать богослужение полностью на родном языке. Who Are We? My name is Archpriest Andrew Phillips. My father was English and my mother was born in 4 England, though she had russian origins. I was born in Colchester and studied in England. When I was young, I used to cycle to the Greek Orthodox church at Tolleshunt Knights (‘Essex’). There I was able to listen to Fr Sophrony (Sakharov). At that time there was no other church in the area and otherwise, I had to go to London to go to church. After studies in England I worked in Thessaloniki in Greece for a year and then studied at the St Sergius russian Orthodox Theological Institute in Paris. All my life I have worked as a teacher, full-time or, at present, part-time, since most of our clergy are not paid – our churches are too small and too poor to pay their clergy. I was tonsured reader in 1981 by Metropolitan Antony Bloom. I was ordained in Paris in 1985 and served as a priest in the Russian Orthodox Church Outside russia at the parish in Meudon near Paris. In 1992 I also founded with laypeople the first Russian Orthodox parish in Lisbon, in Portugal. In 1997 I returned from France to England with Matushka Sabine and our six children and we began services in rented accommodation in Felixstowe, where we still live. We wanted to find premises for a church in Ipswich or another big town, where Orthodox live, but this was not possible until 2008, when thanks to an internet appeal our Orthodox Church Trust (Charity Number 1081707) bought and converted our Church of St John of Shanghai in Colchester. Our Part of the Russian Orthodox Church We belong to the russian Orthodox Church Outside russia (ROCOr) (www.synod.com). Under his Holiness Patriarch Kyrill, we are that part of the russian Orthodox Church, which was founded in 1920 by Patriarch Tikhon, who was canonised in 1981. We were founded as an independent part of the russian Orthodox Church because of the persecution of the Church inside russia at that time. Our diocesan bishop is Archbishop Mark, who lives in Germany, but he comes regularly to our church at 57, Harvard Road in Chiswick in London. A self-governing part of the russian Orthodox Church - like other national parts of the russian Orthodox Church, for example, the Ukrainian, Belarussian, Moldovan, Latvian and other Churches of the Moscow Patriarchate - the russian Orthodox Church Outside russia covers territory worldwide, but it is especially strong in North America, Australia and Germany. We have twelve bishops and our head is Metropolitan Hilarion of New York and Eastern America. Both he and Archbishop Mark visited us in November 2009 with the Kursk root Icon, as some of you will remember. We have very good and close relations with the local Sourozh diocese of the russian Orthodox Church, which is not self-governing, but is directly under the Moscow Patriarchate.

  • 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.

  • Atlas of American Orthodox Christian Churches A
    Atlas cover:Layout 1 4/19/11 11:08 PM Page 1 Atlas of American Orthodox Christian Churches Assembling a mass of recently generated data, the Atlas of American Orthodox Christian Churches provides an authoritative overview of a most important but often neglected segment of the American Christian community. Protestant and Catholic Christians especially will value editor Alexei Krindatchʼs survey of both Eastern Orthodoxy as a whole and its multiple denominational expressions. J. Gordon Melton Distinguished Professor of American Religious History Baylor University, Waco, Texas Why are pictures worth a thousand words? Because they engage multiple senses and ways of knowing that stretch and deepen our understanding. Good pictures also tell compelling stories. Good maps are good pictures, and this makes the Atlas of American Orthodox Christian Churches, with its alternation and synthesis of picture and story, a persuasive way of presenting a rich historical journey of Orthodox Christianity on American soil. The telling is persuasive for both scholars and adherents. It is also provocative and suggestive for the American public as we continue to struggle with two issues, in particular, that have been at the center of the Orthodox experience in the United States: how to create and maintain unity across vast terrains of cultural and ethnic difference; and how to negotiate American culture as a religious other without losing oneʼs soul. David Roozen, Director Hartford Institute for Religion Research Hartford Seminary Orthodox Christianity in America has been both visible and invisible for more than 200 years. Visible to its neighbors, but usually not well understood; invisible, especially among demographers, sociologists, and students of American religious life.

As a longstanding friend of the Church of England, he has been a vital link between Lambeth Palace and the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. His support in planning and preparing the visit of His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew last year enabled the Church of England to be enriched by a visit of spiritual depth and ecumenical significance. He is a man of peace. His commitment to raising awareness and promoting respect and friendship between all communities has been a source of encouragement and hope to many. He has spoken out against discrimination on the grounds of ethnicity, skin colour and religious convictions.

  • THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX PRESENCE in AUSTRALIA: the History of a Church Told from Recently Opened Archives and Previously Unpublished Sources
    THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX PRESENCE IN AUSTRALIA: The History of a Church told from recently opened archives and previously unpublished sources. Submitted by MICHAEL ALEX PROTOPOPOV B. Theol., B. Ed., Gr Dip Ed Admin., M. Phil., T.P.T.C. A thesis submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Philosophy and Theology Faculty of Arts and Sciences Australian Catholic University Research Services Locked Bag 4115 Fitzroy, Victoria 3065 Australia 31 January 2005 A History of the Russian Orthodox Presence in Australia. ABSTRACT The Russian Orthodox community is a relatively small and little known group in Australian society, however, the history of the Russian presence in Australia goes back to 1809. As the Russian community includes a number of groups, both Christian and non-Christian, it would not be feasible to undertake a complete review of all aspects of the community and consequently, this work limits itself in scope to the Russian Orthodox community. The thesis broadly chronicles the development of the Russian community as it struggles to become a viable partner in Australia’s multicultural society. Many never before published documents have been researched and hitherto closed archives in Russia have been accessed. To facilitate this research the author travelled to Russia, the United States and a number of European centres to study the archives of pre-Soviet Russian communities. Furthermore, the archives and publications of the Australian and New Zealand Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church have been used extensively. The thesis notes the development of Australian-Russian relations as contacts with Imperial Russian naval and scientific ships visiting the colonies increase during the 1800’s and traces this relationship into the twentieth century.
