Please pray - Election of new HOTCA Metropolitan of New York

Post by Maria »

Sent by Father Panagiotes Carras to his email group:

  • On Tuesday January 8/21, 2014 the Holy Synod of the Church of the Geniune Orthodox Christians of Greece convened in a regular meeting in the hall of the church “The Unfading Rose” in Piraeus discussed the following items on the agenda:

    1. It discussed the procedure for the election of the successor to the retired Metropolitan Pavlos of America, emeritus. The Holy Eparchial Synod of America, according to Constitution of the Church of the G.O.C. in America compiled a list of candidates. The list was submitted to the Holy Synod in Greece, which approved the list as-is.
      The election will take place on Wednesday February 6/19, 2014, the memory of St. Photios the Great, Patriarch of Constantinople, in the church of the Theotokos “The Unfading Rose” in Piraeus. The election will be preceded by a Divine Liturgy according to the By-Laws for the Election of Hierarchs.
      According to these By-Laws, the Hierarchs in America may take part in the electoral process via absentee ballot sent to the offices of the Holy Synod in advance.

    In Christ,
    +Fr. Panagiotes

Please pray. Lord have mercy.

Isn't this the GOC-Kallinikos synod, not HOCNA?

Troparion of St. Philaret of New York
Let us the faithful now come together to praise our father, protector and teacher the pillar of the Orthodox faith and firm defender of piety even the wondrous hierarch Philaret and let us glorify our Saviour Who has granted us his incorrupt relics as a manifest sign of his sanctity.

February 19, when the election will take place is only 10 days away.

Please pray that the Holy Spirit will guide the bishops to select the best candidate.

Lord have mercy.
