[SVS Communications / Yonkers, NY] — Dr. Rowan Williams began his New York City tour this past week with duties related to his role as Archbishop of Canterbury, but ended it by demonstrating his academic acumen and continued interest in the Orthodox Christian faith. On Saturday, January 30, 2010, the Anglican archbishop delivered the 27th annual Father Alexander Schmemann Memorial Lecture – this year titled “Theology and Contemplative Calling: The Image of Humanity in the Philokalia” – and received an honorary doctoral degree on the campus of St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary.

During his visit, Dr. Williams also attended Divine Liturgy and had a lively and frank discussion with the theological faculty of St. Vladimir’s at a private brunch. After the Divine Liturgy, Metropolitan Jonah, primate of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA), and the Anglican archbishop both publically expressed their desire for a deeper personal friendship and their hope for deeper understanding and cooperation between their respective communions. Four hundred people attended the lecture and ceremony, distinguished by an episcopal presence from both the Orthodox and Anglican faiths.

Sanctity of Life Observations Encouraged by Bishop BASIL

2 Comments

Bishop Basil of Wichita (AOA)

His Grace Bishop BASIL, in his St. Raphael Clergy Brotherhood newsletter on January 8, encouraged the faithful and clergy of his Diocese to mark the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision with prayers, volunteer work with local pro-life ministries, and participation where possible in the Washington D.C. March for Life.

His Grace writes:

FRIDAY, JANUARY 22nd will mark the 37th anniversary of the infamous decision given by the U.S. Supreme Court in the case known as “Roe v. Wade.” Please find below two links about how Orthodox Christians will observe that day:

1. Read the invitation issued to all Orthodox Christians from METROPOLITAN JONAH of the Orthodox Church in America: http://www.oca.org/news/2043 His Beatitude will head the large crowd of Orthodox Christians who will gather in Washing, DC from throughout our nation to participate in the 2010 National March for Life..

2. Schedule to serve the “Service of Supplication for the Sanctity of Life” with your congregation on either Thursday evening, January 21st or on Friday, January 22nd. The text may be accessed at http://www.saintandrew.net/Sanctity_of_Life.html

3. Actively support “The Tree House” (http://www.wichitatreehouse.com/index.html), a ministry of our Diocese’s three congregations in Wichita, KS (St George Cathedral, St Mary Church and St Michael Mission) and other such ministries and pro-life agencies in your own locale.”

In Christ,

+ B a s i l
Bishop of Wichita and the Diocese of Mid-America
Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America
