    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.

A member of the class of 1940 she was involved in student government, but it was her fencing prowess that brought her to national attention. She was a member of a remarkable Olympic family; her husband fenced in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin and was captain of the 1948 US Olympic fencing team. Helena fenced in the 1948 Olympics in London and her son, Robert, fenced sabre in the 1972 Olympics in Munich. It is believed that they are the only “Mother-Father-Son” trio in any sport in US Olympic history. The wrestling squad of 1945-46 went undefeated although they didn’t organize as a team until two years later. In the 1950’s Hofstra played baseball games at Ebbets Field against St. John’s.

From April 18 to 20, 2013, the Stamford Eparchy held an Eparchial Sobor on the theme: “The Vibrant parish – a place to encounter the living Christ.” Almost 200 delegates (priests, religious and lay representatives) gathered from all corners of the eparchy in St. Basil Seminary in Stamford, Connecticut. Under the leadership of His Excellency Most Rev. Paul Chomnycky, OSBM, Eparch of Stamford, the delegates reaffirmed that in close communion with the bishop, our parishes must play a fundamental role in the spreading of the faith in Christ. For it is in our parish communities that the faithful most frequently encounter Christ through Christian instruction, community prayer and service to one’s neighbor. And so in promoting and enlivening our parish life, we also enliven the entire Church. On behalf of the Sobor delegates Bishop Paul Chomnycky sent greetings to His Holiness Pope Francis and His Beatitude Patriarch Sviatoslav. Among the guests of the Sobor were: His Grace Metropolitan Stefan Soroka of Philadelphia, His Excellency Bishop Ken Nowakowski of New Westminster, His Excellency Bishop Basil H. Losten of Stamford, and Father Andrew Onuferko of Ottawa, Canada. The delegates to the Eparchial Sobor reaffirmed and resolved to preserve and foster our spiritual treasure of the Byzantine-Kyivan tradition: its liturgy, theology, and spirituality, and deeply desired to share our spiritual treasure with all who wish to encounter Christ with us in our parish communities.

  • Five Division Titles up for Grabs, Wild Card Race Tight; All Four National Tv Games Hold Playoff Implications
    NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE 280 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10017 (212) 450-2000 * FAX (212) 681-7573 WWW.NFLMedia.com Joe Browne, Executive Vice President-Communications Greg Aiello, Vice President-Public Relations FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NFL-REG-15 12/12/06 THREE WEEKS TO GO! FIVE DIVISION TITLES UP FOR GRABS, WILD CARD RACE TIGHT; ALL FOUR NATIONAL TV GAMES HOLD PLAYOFF IMPLICATIONS “It’s a crazy year. Anything’s possible.” You got that right, coach! And there are 24 other NFL head coaches who will readily agree with Philadelphia’s ANDY REID. The 25 make up the total number of teams still in Super Bowl contention -- tied for the second most ever in a 16-game schedule with three weeks to go in the season. Sure there are the Chicagos and San Diegos who basically have been steady throughout the season. But then there are the Cincinnatis (4-5 at one point this season) and Philadelphias (5-6 in late November) who have uprighted their seasons and are taking serious aim at the postseason. As the NFL heads into Week 15, Chicago and San Diego are the lone division champs. No other playoff spots have been claimed. Five division titles can be won this week. The jockeying for each conference’s Wild Card spots? It’s as tight as linemen on a kneel-down. In the AFC, two clubs are 8-5 and three 7-6. In the NFC, three teams are at 7-6. And then there are the teams bunched right below that level. “There is still a ton to play for,” says San Diego quarterback PHILIP RIVERS, who has led the Chargers to the AFC West title in his first year as a starter.
