The Meeting of the Episcopal Assembly of North and Central America is Brought to a Close
On
Friday morning, May 28, the Divine Liturgy was celebrated in the
Greek Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in New York, thereby
bringing to a close the meeting of the Episcopal Assembly of
North and Central America. The Assembly of bishops of North and
Central America was conducted according to the decisions of the
Fourth Pre-Conciliar Pan-Orthodox Conference in Chambésy,
Switzerland, held June 7-13, 2009.
There the decision was made to create regional Episcopal
Assemblies of every canonical Orthodox bishop. The region of
North and Central America includes Orthodox Church structures in
the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the countries of Central
America.
As reported by the official website of the Representation of the Moscow Patriarchate in the USA, "The stated goal of creating the Episcopal Assemblies was care for the unity of Orthodoxy and development of mutual cooperation between representatives of the various Orthodox Church jurisdictions active in the territories of one or another region, in the areas of pastoral care of the faithful, missionary work, the development of theological education, and Orthodox witness in the face of heterodoxy. All of these issues were discussed in New York at the meeting of the Episcopal Assembly of North and Central America."...
