Sewage treatment around the lagoon has been very much improved during the last years, but large amounts of sewage still enter the Oder river. Human path- ogenic viruses generally can be expected in all surface waters that are affected by municipal sewage. There is an increasing awareness that predisposed persons can be infected by a few infective units or even a single active virus. Another new aspect is, that at least polioviruses attached to suspend- ed particles can be infective for weeks and therefore be transported over long distances. Therefore, the highest risk of virus inputs arise from the large amounts of untreated sewage of the city of Szcze- cin (Poland), which are released into the river Oder and transported to the lagoon and the Baltic Sea. Summer tourism is the most important economical factor in this coastal region and further growth is expected.

  • The Dean and the Deanery
    7 DIOCESE OF EAST ANGLIA Diocesan policy on THE DEANERY AND THE ROLE OF THE DEAN THE DEANERY How is the universal Catholic Church structured? The whole people of God is a communion of dioceses, each entrusted to the pastoral leadership and care of a bishop. The diocese is then ‘divided into distinct parts or parishes’ (Code of Canon Law, 374.1). Each parish is by nature an integral part of the diocese. What then is a deanery? ‘To foster pastoral care by means of common action, several neighbouring parishes can be joined together in special groupings, such as deaneries’ (Code of Canon Law, 374.2). Each deanery is led by a Dean appointed by the bishop to act in his name. In a scattered diocese such as ours, with many small parishes, working together in deaneries can be very fruitful, not only for the mutual support and care of the clergy, but also for pastoral and spiritual collaboration at local level. In each deanery, there are to be regular meetings of the clergy, priests and deacons, diocesan and religious, of that grouping of parishes. All are expected to attend such meetings and participate as fully as possible in deanery life and work. In each deanery, there are to be regular meetings of lay representatives of each parish with all the clergy of the deanery, so as to facilitate active participation by lay people in local pastoral action and decision-making. The following norms for the role of the Dean came into effect from 21 November 2003. THE ROLE OF THE DEAN 1.

  • Exarch Josif I (1840-1915) (Real Name Lazar Yovchev) Is a Distinguished Bulgarian Orthodox Cleric
    Exarch Josif I (1840-1915) (real name Lazar Yovchev) is a distinguished Bulgarian Orthodox cleric. He was Bishop of Vidin, Metropolitan of the Lovech Diocese and Bulgarian Exarch – Head of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church. Lazar Yovchev was born on the 5 of May 1840 in the enlightened town of Kalopher at the foot of the Balkan mountain. Studious and curious student during the primary school, he later became a teaching assistant of Botio Petkov, well known teacher in Kalopher and abroad. Supported by affuent Kalopher citizens living in Tzarigrad (Istanbul) he continued his studies in the Grand People’s School in Fener (in Turkish - Fener Rum Erkek Lisesi) and later in the French College (Tzarigrad). With the fnancial help of the Kalopher community he enrolled in 1864 in the prestigious Literary Faculty of the Sorbonne University (Paris). After three years study there he transferred to the Law School of the same university, which he graduated with a Bachelor degree and license to practice law. After six years in France, Lazar Yovchev returns to Tzarigrad and works at the Central Court of Commerce. In the same time he is active in political journalism and translation. He became a Board Member of the Macedonian Bulgarian Union (Makedonska Bylgarska Drujina). He was also invited to become a Secretary of the Joined Exarchate Council (Smesen Exarchiiski Syvet). Thanks to respect and popularity and without a formal ecclesiastical education, in 1872 the newly ordained monk becomes Coadjutor of the Exarch (equal to a Bishop reverence) under the monk name Yossif. In the next 3-4 years Bishop Yossif actively participates in the organization of the newly independent Bulgarian Church, travels the Bulgarian lands, meets representatives of the Great Powers, owing to his excellence in French, but mostly because of his ability to negotiate and persuade.

  • HOLY DOORS Holy Door Is to Make the Journey Istock That Every Christian Is Called to Make, to Go from Darkness to N My Last Bishop’S Message, We Talked Light
    BISHOP’S MESSAGE On Dec. 8, this Holy Door at Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome was opened for pilgrims to walk through. (churches of special significance) and each has its own Holy Door. These doors are normally walled up from the inside and could not be opened every day. During jubilee years, the walls are broken down and the doors are opened so pilgrims can walk through and gain the plenary indulgence connected with the jubilee year. The symbolism of the Holy Door becomes apparent when one considers what happens at the door of a church: it is where we pass from this world into the holy presence of God. Here, the priest or deacon welcomes the parents of the baby brought to be baptized into the Church; here, too, he greets the bride and groom at the beginning of their wedding liturgy; and finally, the church door is where the priest meets the casket of the deceased at the beginning of his or her funeral. In the words of our Holy Father Francis, “There is only one way that opens wide the entrance into the life of communion with God: this is Jesus, the one and absolute way to salvation. To Him alone can the words of the Psalmist be applied in full truth: ‘This is the door of the Lord where the just may enter.’” (Psalm 118:20) The church door is, literally and figuratively, the way to Christ. The Holy Door takes this symbolism one step further. To pass through a HOLY DOORS Holy Door is to make the journey iStock that every Christian is called to make, to go from darkness to n my last Bishop’s Message, we talked light.

  • The Communists and the Bulgarian . Orthodox
    . The Communists and the Bulgarian .Orthodox Church, 1944-48: The Rise and Fall of Exarch Stefan SPAS T.RAIKIN For a long time before the communist takeover in Bulgaria on 9 Sep­ tember 1944, the Bulgarian Orthodox Church and the Communist Party had been in a state of open hostility. The Bulgarian communists held firmly to the Marxist view that religion is the opium ofthe people. They carried on agitation at every level to discredit religion and the Church-. Intellectuals were told that to hold any religious beliefs is to regress to superstition. For the peasants and working classes, the priest was reduced to an object of ridicule for his laziness and immorality, illustrated with many degrading stories. This campaign, waged largely by young men who had. received some education in provincial towns, was conducted primarily in village taverns and on street corners where peasant youth congregated in the absence of any other social outlets, and was highly successful. To this challenge the Church could not find an adequate response. The mutually exclusive philosophical positions of Church and communism deprived both Church and Party of any point of contact. They remained total strangers, completely opposed to each other. The Communist Party never tried to infiltrate the Church or to create its own following there. Unlike the Orthodox Church in Yugoslavia, where numerous priests found themselves in the partisan groups of Marshal Tito, the Bulgarian Church was conspicuously absent from the "Fatherland Front" organised by the communists as a front to take over the country in 1944. The Church was part of the political and social order in the country, and was dependent upon this order for its survival.

Applies to the worldwide Catholic church . Promulgated by the Holy See . Most recent major revision: 1983 . Large body of supporting information EPISCOPAL CONFERENCE NORMS .

The Holy See reviews the norms to assure that they are not in conflict with Catholic doctrine and universal legislation . These norms may be a clarification or refinement of Canon law, but may not supercede Canon law . Diocesan Bishops have to follow norms only if they are considered “binding decrees” • Norms become binding when two-thirds of the Episcopal Conference vote for them and the norms are reviewed positively by the Holy See . Each Diocesan Bishop implements the norms in his own diocese; however, there is DIOCESAN STATUTES AND NORMS . Apply within the Diocese only . Promulgated and modified by the Bishop .

  • 1 Co? Was? German-Polish Linguistic Attitudes in Frankfurt (Oder)
    Co? Was ? German-Polish Linguistic Attitudes in Frankfurt (Oder) Megan Clark Senior Linguistics Thesis Bryn Mawr College 2010 In this study I analyze the linguistic attitudes held by Polish and German speakers in the border towns of Frankfurt an der Oder, Germany and Słubice, Poland, held together by a cross-border university. I consider the historical background in the relationship between the two communities, including but not limited to the effect of Germany and Poland’s separate entrances into the European Union and Schengen zone, which have divided the two countries until recently, as well as the adoption of the Euro in both Germany and, later, Poland. With consideration of this history, I explore the concept of linguistic attitudes in other border communities to mark parallels and differences in the attitudes of speakers on each side of the border, most notably different because of the presence of the university on both sides of the dividing river. I supplement this research with a study conducted on speakers themselves within each side of the community to explore the underlying thoughts and ideas behind attitudes toward speakers of the other language, investigating why so many Polish speakers are fluent in German, while only a few German students endeavor to learn Polish. The research we have conducted here explores a very important aspect of language attitudes as a proxy for European geo-political relations as exemplified in the role of Poland as an outlier in the European Union due to its late joining and reluctant acceptance of the Euro. Though student relations on the border are strong, the heart of Słubice remains untouched by German residents, despite full osmosis of Polish citizens into the heart of Frankfurt.
