Assembly The Diocese of the West The Right Reverend DANIEL, Bishop of Santa Rosa Very Reverend John Dresko, Dean The Desert Deanery of the Diocese of the West, the youngest of the Diocese’s deaneries, was established by His Eminence, Archbishop BENJAMIN in July 2012. It is comprised of the parishes in the city and county of San Diego, California, and in the states of Nevada and Arizona. The parish communities included in the Desert Deanery are: Saint Paul the Apostle, Las Vegas, NV; Saints Peter and Paul, Phoenix, AZ; Saint John of Damascus, Poway, CA; and Saint Nicholas, San Diego, CA. His Eminence Archbishop BENJAMIN appointed Archpriest John Dresko as Dean of the Desert Deanery in late August of this year. Highlights of parish life in the Desert Deanery include: Saint John of Damascus, Poway, CA, under the leadership of Archpriest Alexander Federoff, parish rector. A major event affecting the parish was the horrific shooting that took place at the next-door Chabad Temple on the morning of Holy Saturday, April 27, 2019. As result of this tragedy, parishioners have been forced to face the range of emotions that one would assume to be associated with such an event and to restore a sense of peace, calm, and security in their own place of worship. In response, the parish organized a Security Committee to develop procedures and policies related the an active shooter. The parish leadership has turned to the many resources available on the internet, including information and guidance provided by local police, the FBI, and Homeland Security. Parish leadership has also taken advantage of presentations offered by various local resources. Much of the year has also been spent on research and study on a solar electricity system for the church. The parish was in discussion with seven companies recommended by parishioners and received fifteen bids. After discussion, debate and the review and aceceptance of bids, installation was completed at the end of July. Saint Nicholas Church, San Diego, CA, continues its community life under the faithful pastoral leadership of Archpriest Alexander Shkalov. The regular cycle of services and attention to the spiritual growth of the parishioners carries on in the face of the difficulties presented by location and parking needs. Despite these challenges, the parish continues to serve the spiritual needs of its members and visitors. The various administrative aspects (and challenges) of parish life continue to be addressed in practical ways. Ongoing administrative life and special projects are accomplished with the support and assistance of the Parish Council and Parish Improvements Board. The coming year will mark the 80th Anniversary of the founding of the parish and the 40th anniversary of Father Alexander’s ordination to the Holy Priesthood. Saint Paul the Apostle Church, Las Vegas, NV, under the guidance of Archpriest John Dresko, parish rector, continues to guide the parish community as it serves parishioners and expands its mission and service in the city of Las Vegas and the Las Vegas metropolitan area. Highlights of the past year included the parish celebration of Oktoberfest in October and the celebration of Fr. John's 40th Anniversary of ordination in June. The parish also sponsored an annual International Dinner (with 14 cultures and cuisines represented) in September. A part of its ongoing outreach, the parish has a regular and ongoing food collection for a local food pantry and is beginning to form a “Sunshine” group aimed at ministering to ill and shut-in parishioners.

  • Dictionary of Religious Terms
    IMPORTANT INFORMATION – Please Read! his lexicon began as a personal project to assist me in my efforts to learn more about my faith. All too often in my T readings I was coming across unfamiliar words, frequently in languages other than English. I began compiling a “small” list of terms and explanations to use as a reference. Since I was putting this together for my own use I usually copied explanations word for word, occasionally making a few modifications. As the list grew I began having trouble filling in some gaps. I turned to some friends for help. They in turn suggested this lexicon would be a good resource for the members of the Typikon and Ustav lists @yahoogroups.com and that list members maybe willing to help fill the gaps and sort out some other trouble spots. So, I present to you my lexicon. Here are some details: This draft version, as of 19 December 2001, contains 418 entries; Terms are given in transliterated Greek, Greek, Old Slavonic, Ukrainian, and English, followed by definitions/explanations; The terms are sorted alphabetically by “English”; The Greek transliteration is inconsistent as my sources use different systems; This document was created with MS Word 97 and converted to pdf with Adobe Acrobat 5.0 (can be opened with Acrobat Reader 4.0); Times New Roman is used for all texts except the Old Slavonic entries for which I used a font called IZHITSA; My sources are listed at the end of the lexicon; Permission has not been obtained from the authors so I ask that this lexicon remain for private use only.

    Стаза Православља THE PATH OF ORTHODOXY THE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE SERBIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH IN NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA VOLUME 48 DECEMBER 2013 NO. 12 WCC criticizes religious intolerance in Kosovo, Macedonia Busan, Korea, Nov. 7 (WCC)—The 10th Assembly of the World Council of Churches met in Busan, the Republic of Korea October 30-November 8. 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.

  • Church of Greece Under Axis Occupation
    Church of Greece under Axis Occupation A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Panteleymon E Anastasakis IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Adviser: Theofanis G. Stavrou August 2009 © Panteleymon E Anastasakis, August 2009 Acknowledgements Completion of this dissertation would not have been possible without the constant support of teachers, family, and friends, and I am pleased to have the opportunity to thank them all. Among the several teachers who have contributed substantially to my “paedeia,” I would like first to thank members of my dissertation committee. My adviser Professor Theofanis G. Stavrou played a central role in this learning process from the moment I expressed interest in working with him at the University of Minnesota until I defended my dissertation. Among other things, it was he who suggested the dissertation topic of the role of the Church of Greece during the Axis occupation of the country. Throughout my years at Minnesota, he provided valuable advice and encouragement, and continued to have faith in me even when I wavered. Professor John Kim Munholland maintained a deep interest in my work at all times. He encouraged me to view the Greek experience in the broader European context of the Second World War, occupation, and resistance. From our first seminar until my dissertation defense, his insightful comments played a crucial role in shaping me as a scholar. Similarly, Professor Sarah Chambers, a Latin America expert, contributed her own useful comparative insights to the project. I especially appreciated her suggestion to explore in greater detail society’s expectations from institutions like the church as opposed to expectations from state institutions.

He had been condemned by the intrigues of the empress Eudoxia because of his daring denunciation of the vices ruling over Constantinople. The transfer of his venerable relics was made in the year 438, thirty years after the death of the saint during the reign of Eudoxia’s son emperor Theodosius II (408-450). Saint John Chrysostom had the warm love and deep respect of the people, and grief over his untimely death lived on in the hearts of Christians. Saint John’s disciple, Saint Proclus, Patriarch of Constantinople (434-447), during services in the Church of Hagia Sophia, preached a sermon praising Saint John. He said, “O John, your life was filled with sorrow, but your death was glorious. Your grave is blessed and reward is great, by the grace and mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ O graced one, having conquered the bounds of time and place! Love has conquered space, unforgetting memory has annihilated the limits, and place does not hinder the miracles of the saint.” Those who were present in church, deeply touched by the words of Saint Proclus, did not allow him even to finish his sermon.

The first competition for an Orthodox church in Serbia after World War II was announced for Priština in 1991. After that, competitions for the temple in Čukarica, Novi Beograd, Niš, Aleksinac and Kruševac were conducted. Thanks to the fact that architectural competitions allow a greater degree of creative freedom to the architects than regular practice, various solutions were offered, from replicas of models from architectural history and tradition to fully non-traditional proposals. Depending on the relationship to tradition, architectural design approaches can be classified into three main groups: radically modernizing, conservatively traditionalist, and compromising. Of the six competitions conducted, four churches were built, which are among the most architecturally successful newer churches in Serbia. This points to the importance of the implementation of the architectural competition in this field of architecture. The diversity of the award-winning projects shows that there is awareness of the possibility for the further development of church architecture, favouring a moderate approach. Key words: Christian Orthodox church architecture, architectural competitions, tradition, Serbia.
