Join us at St. George Thursday, May 27 at 8 PM for a prayer service for the North American bishops who are meeting this week to work on jurisdictional unity in America. We will be praying Small Compline with the Canon to All Saints of North America and the Akathist to Saint Raphael of Brooklyn. Please RSVP at the event page on Facebook.
If you can’t make it, perhaps you could just read this prayer at home:
Lord, hear our prayers that our Holy Fathers grow in wisdom and strength, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and increase in love and Christian fellowship for each other and with their flock, so that they can make the conciliar decisions needed to create a canonically ordered Orthodox Christian Church of the Americas.
That their work to develop a plan for manifesting unity be guided by the Decision and the Rules of Operation for the Episcopal Assembly that were established by the Conference convened by the Ecumenical Patriarchate with the consensus of all Their Beatitudes, the Primates of the Most Holy Orthodox Churches in the world.
That all the Hierarchs, Clergy and Laity familiarize themselves and be informed by the Decisions and the Rules of Operation in order that they might appropriately participate and support their bishops in their mandated work.
Furthermore, we ask that God Bless the work of all His People, working together in Him, for the building up of His Holy Orthodox Church of the Americas. Amen.
