WCC Conference is held every six years. At this gathering were representatives from 345 Orthodox Churches, Anglican and Protestant church communities and observers from the Roman Catholic Church. Heading the delegation from the Serbian Orthodox Church were by His Grace Bishop Irinej of Australia and His Grace Bishop Maxim of the Western America. The WCC issued a “Statement on the Politicization of Religion and Rights of Religious Minorities” which in part addresses religious and cultural persecution in Kosovo- Metohija, in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and in Albania. The relevant portion of the statement reads: “The government of the Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) has categorically denied the Orthodox Archdiocese of Ochrid the right to registration as a religious body. The interference of the government in the country’s legal system resulted in the illegal detention of the head of the church [Archbishop Jovan]. Kosovo faced in recent times the systematic destruction of over 100 Orthodox Christian shrines while leading to historical revisionism with regard to their cultural patrimony, threatening the very existence of the Serbian Orthodox faithful. In Albania Orthodox churches are not always adequately protected, with regard to recent incidents of extremely violent actions that have occurred His Grace Bishop Irinej of Australia (center left), His Grace Bishop Maxim of Western America, and delegates during times of living worship.” represented the Serbian Orthodox Church at the conference of World Council Churches in Busan, South Korea.

The Archieratikon also contains the sacrament of Ноlу Orders and special blessings and consecrations. Canon A system of nine odes (the Second Ode is sung only during Great Lent) sung at Matins after Psalm 50 and before the Praises. Each ode is connected traditionally with a scriptural canticle (see below for the nine scriptural canticles) and consists of an Irmos, a variable number of troparia and, on feasts, a katavasia. After the Third Ode a sidalen is usually sung, and after the Sixth Ode a kontakion and ikos, and after the Ninth Ode, the Svitelen is sung. The Canon has its own system of eight tones. Domatikon A theotokion sung after “Now…” (or “Glory… Now…”) at the end of Psalms 140, 141, 129, and 116 at Vespers on Friday and Saturday evenings, and on the eve of a Polyeleos saint or saints with a vigil in the same tone as the last sticheron of the saint (at “Glory…”).

  • Singing the Prostopinije Samohlasen Tones in English: a Tutorial
    Singing the Prostopinije Samohlasen Tones in English: A Tutorial Metropolitan Cantor Institute Byzantine Catholic Metropolia of Pittsburgh 2006 The Prostopinije Samohlasen Melodies in English For many years, congregational singing at Vespers, Matins and the Divine Liturgy has been an important element in the Eastern Catholic and Orthodox churches of Southwestern Ukraine and the Carpathian mountain region. These notes describes one of the sets of melodies used in this singing, and how it is adapted for use in English- language parishes of the Byzantine Catholic Church in the United States. I. Responsorial Psalmody In the liturgy of the Byzantine Rite, certain psalms are sung “straight through” – that is, the verses of the psalm(s) are sung in sequence, with each psalm or group of psalms followed by a doxology (“Glory to the Father, and to the Son…”). For these psalms, the prostopinije chant uses simple recitative melodies called psalm tones. These melodies are easily applied to any text, allowing the congregation to sing the psalms from books containing only the psalm texts themselves. At certain points in the services, psalms or parts of psalms are sung with a response after each verse. These responses add variety to the service, provide a Christian “pointing” to the psalms, and allow those parts of the service to be adapted to the particular hour, day or feast being celebrated. The responses can be either fixed (one refrain used for all verses) or variable (changing from one verse to the next). Psalms with Fixed Responses An example of a psalm with a fixed response is the singing of Psalm 134 at Matins (a portion of the hymn called the Polyeleos): V.

    MEMORANDUM : TO HIS BEATITUDE, METROPOLITAN +JONAH, MEMBERS OF THE NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY DIOCESAN COUNCIL, CLERGY & LAITY OF THE DIOCESE OF NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY (ORTHODOX CHURCH IN AMERICA) FROM : DIOCESAN SEARCH COMMITEE SUBJECT : FINAL REPORT ON NOMINATION PROCESS AND SELECTION FOR DIOCESAN HIERARCH 17 AUGUST 2009 Your Beatitude, Very Reverend and Reverend Fathers, and Faithful of the Diocese, Glory to Jesus Christ! We, the members of the Diocesan Search Committee, have labored with a profound sense of humility and responsibility in performing the most difficult task assigned to us by His Beatitude, Metropolitan +Jonah and the lay and clergy members comprising our Diocesan Council: to review all candidates submitted to us through an open, inclusive process, and to evaluate and submit nominees for the consideration of all the faithful of our diocese and for election by the delegates to the upcoming Extraordinary Diocesan Assembly to convene at Clifton NJ on August 31 st . We cannot adequately express our joy in the outpouring of cooperation and engagement we have experienced as so many names – all truly worthy of our sincere and earnest consideration – were presented to us. Nor can we overstate our gratitude to all who have bestowed upon us, unworthy as we are, the immeasurable gifts of confidence and trust that were essential in bringing our labors to completion. Through your prayers, may we accomplish that which is well-pleasing to God. It would be perilous to ignore the fact that our Orthodox Church in America – and our Diocese -- has been through several years characterized by failures in administrative structures, financial stewardship, with suspicions, accusations, violations of trust, and (most damaging of all) a disturbance in the mutual love, communion, and conciliarity that must be the foundation of our relationships as the Body of Christ.

Founded July 2, 1861 by St. Nicholas of Japan Current Bishop Metropolitan Daniel (Nushiro) of All Japan and Archbishop of Tokyo. See Tokyo Headquarters Tokyo, Japan Territory Japan Language Japanese Population 30,000 estimated Website http://www.orthodoxjapan.jp/ The Japanese Orthodox Church (日本ハリストス正教会) is an autonomous church of Eastern Orthodoxy under the omophorion of the Russian Orthodox Church. History St. Nicholas of Japan (baptized as Ivan Dmitrievich Kasatkin) brought Eastern Orthodoxy to Japan in the 19th century.[1] In 1861 he was sent by the Russian Orthodox Church to Hakodate, Hokkaidō as a priest to a chapel of the Russian Consulate.[2]. Though the contemporary Shogun's government prohibited the Japanese conversion to Christianity, soon some neighbors who frequently visited the chapel converted in 1864[3]—Nikolai's first three converts in Japan. While they were his first converts in Japan, they were not the first Japanese to do so—some Japanese who had settled in Russia had converted to Orthodoxy. Apart from brief trips, Nicholas stayed in Japan, even during the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905), and spread Eastern Orthodoxy nationwide, being appointed as the first bishop of Japanese Orthodox Church. He moved his headquarter from Hakodate to Tokyo around 1863. In 1886 the Japanese Orthodox Church had over 10,000 baptized faithful[4]. In 1891 Nicholas founded the Cathedral of Tokyo in Kanda district and spent the majority of the last half of his life there, hence Tokyo Resurrection Cathedral was nicknamed Nikorai-do by Kanda citizens.
