  • A STEADFAST HOPE in a NEW MILLENIUM (2000 – Present)
    A STEADFAST HOPE IN A NEW MILLENIUM (2000 – Present) The members of the Eparchial Building Commission met with Thomas Kerns and Andrew Cheng, of Kerns Group Architects and the members of the parish building planning committee at the parish on September 18, 2000. At the meeting two more criteria were articulated. Father Alan Borsuk, the chairman of the Eparchial Planning Committee, said the church should be designed to accommodate the parish for Christmas, Great Week and Easter but not be perceived as too large by the congregation at Sunday and holyday liturgies. Father Michael Mondik stated that the form of the church should follow its function in facilitating the Byzantine rite or ritual. Later, Bishop Pataki would add that a well-designed church is one in which all seven sacraments can be celebrated. The desire of the parish planning committee was that dedicated classrooms for catechesis for all ages be included in the lower level of the church as most appropriate since catechesis is part of the Liturgy of the Word. Previously, January 6, 1996, The Congregation of the Eastern Churches at the Vatican issued the Instruction concerning the Application of the Liturgical Prescriptions of the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches which included a section containing directives for the proper construction of new churches. With the desire of the parish planning committee in 1992 to build a church that reflected the wooden churches of the Eparchy of Mukachevo as presented in the book of photographs by Florian Zapletal taken after World War I the guiding criteria were now fully presented to the architect.

PUSEY, D.D. REGIUS PROFESSOR OF HEBREW, AND CANON OF CHRIST CHURCH.

Project Canterbury edition AD 2002 On the Clause “And the Son,” by Edward Bouverie Pusey. (1876) MY DEAREST FRIEND, YOU wish me to state briefly my thoughts, as to the restoration of intercommunion with the Greek Church, and, as bearing on this, what I desiderate in the propositions adopted at the Bonn Conference, and how they could be modified, so that I could myself accept them. This I do the more readily, because it was partly at my instance that you undertook that journey to Bonn, at much inconvenience, I believe, to yourself, and because I know that we are substantially of one mind on this subject, as on others. I hope that I may do this less unsatisfactorily, if I embody in it, what I wrote, two years ago on this, the saddest of all our sad controversies. For it is, in the end, a controversy as to the Being of God, among those who really believe in God, who prize right and true belief in God above all things, who, each, doubt not that they have the right belief, and who do believe the same one with the other, if they could but look calmly at each other’s mode of speech.
