Metr. Jonah among the bishops of the Episcopal Assembly


At the assembly of the OCA’s Canadian archdiocese being held in July 2010, His Beatitude, Metropolitan Jonah (Paffhausen), primate of the OCA, spoke at some length about the Episcopal Assembly, particularly regarding the position of the OCA toward it. Especially considering the unique position of the OCA as it relates to the Episcopal Assembly, his remarks are of particular interest.

Listen to both his prepared speech as well as questions and answers here (courtesy of Ancient Faith Radio).

Update: One particular item I thought of note, aside from the very interesting questions about the future of the OCA, was His Beatitude’s comment that the upcoming Great and Holy Synod could be in 2013.

Share and Enjoy

In a recent interview, Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk said that the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew told Patriarch Kirill on his visit to Russia in June that the great synod could be held within “2 to 3 years.”
