- Have you ever wondered why our Church does certain things a certain way? The easiest - if one of the most painful examples - is why ROCOR has a history of not paying clergy...
Some others are: Why do we have a Synod? Why do we have diocesan and parish councils?
How do bishops, clergy and laity interact with each other?
If you've always wondered about ROCOR’s mind set, we can give you a very engaging answer.
ROCOR's own historian Protodeacon Andrei Psarev, founder and director of ROCORstudies.org joined us for a live webinar to answer some of these questions.
Everything you've ever wondered about the history and traditions of ROCOR.
And even - what it means for you and our whole Church today and in the future.
Please, spread the word to all your ROCOR history buffs and/or all those who have questions about WHY ROCOR does certain things a certain way.
Fr. Andrei and Alena, Adam from Illinois (ROCOR Chicago -Middle America Diocese) here. I could not attend this webinar, but I am watching (afterward) with great interest. Thank you for the presentation.
Good to hear from you, Adam! I hope to talk to you soon!
Lord Jesus Have Mercy and Guide and Protect ROCOR against Rusophobia
I'd extend that prayer to all Russians. The instant hatred is ridiculous. They are a wonderful people and I refuse to hate them. Politicians are my least favorite people. I don't listen to them or their poisonous lies. There's more hatred in Europe and amongst the Leftists in the West. They just revel in hatred. It's sad.
God bless all Orthodox Christians.
I really enjoyed this session. Please, let's do it more! Боже, Спаси И Сохрани.
Glory to God
For information, the Old-ROCOR is the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad (ROCA) that was formed in 1920 by bishops who were forced to leave their homeland along with millions of Russian people, all fleeing the horrors of the communist system. The ROCA bishops, clergy, and laity remain loyal to the original mission of an independent ROCA.
Despite protests from within the ranks of bishops, clergy, and laypeople, on May 17, 2007, a large part of the ROCA entered into Eucharistic communion with the MP with the signing of the “Act of Canonical Communion” and is now known as the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR - MP). The Moscow Patriarchate (MP) and the current ROCOR-MP do need to repent of the heresies of Ecumenism and Sergianism.
The smaller part of ROCA that chose to remain loyal to the historical Russian Orthodox Church and to continue the mission of the ROCA is not in Eucharistic communion with the Moscow Patriarchate (MP), the state-controlled official Russian Church.
The Churches of the ROCA remnant are present today in the Diaspora District of ROCA. The list of Parishes is present on the rocana and auroca web sites. The ROCA Churches are located in Australia, New Zealand, St. Petersburg, as well as in the U.S. and Canada.
For these who would like to understand more about the history of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad (ROCA) they can read the article "ROCA the Beacon Of Light" by Protopriest Nikita Grigoriev on the rocana web site.
Also, we remember that the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad (ROCA) Council of Bishops in August 1983 in the person of its Metropolitan Philaret of New York (1903-1985), noting the extent of the Ecumenist contagion, issued an Anathema to Ecumenism in the straight line of the Holy Fathers, condemning anyone who participated in this heresy. When the Church pronounces anathema on a certain heresy, we must not forget that it is for eternity.
Anathema to Ecumenism (1983)
"To those who attack the Church of Christ by teaching that Christ’s Church is divided into so-called “branches” which differ in doctrine and way of life, or that the Church does not exist visibly, but will be formed in the future when all “branches” or sects or denominations, and even religions will be united into one body; and who do not distinguish the priesthood and mysteries of the Church from those of the heretics, but say that the baptism and eucharist of heretics is effectual for salvation; therefore, to those who knowingly have communion with these aforementioned heretics or who advocate, disseminate, or defend their new heresy of Ecumenism under the pretext of brotherly love or the supposed unification of separated Christians, Anathema!
--- Note: The relics of Metropolitan Philaret of New York were found to be completely incorrupt in 1998.
Is ROCOR in communion with OCA?
Yes
I want to know: ROCOR used to act as the conscience of the Russian Orthodox Church, but now acts the Moscow Patriarchate's conscience seared. Why?
"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron..." 1 Timothy 4
After 20:00 is there any reason whatsoever to take you seriously at all? Grow up. No reason to bring any theological questions to the discussion when people are this dense.
You are very bitter.
Your personal opinion. Why ruin it for everyone else?
