Communique<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The 2019 Lenten Pastoral Conference of the clergy of the Australian & New Zealand Diocese (ROCOR), convened in Sydney 26-27 March, in the presence of His Eminence Metropolitan Hilarion The First Hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church and His Grace Bishop George of Canberra.<\/p>\n

The Conference commenced with Matins and a talk by Fr Peter Heers \u201cThe Boundaries of the Church and the Demonic method of adulteration of the Faith in Ecumenism\u201d which generated a lively discussion amongst the clergy.<\/p>\n

The next morning the Divine Liturgy of the Presanctified Host was concelebrated by all 47 participants<\/a> of the Conference which emphasised the unit of the Church and our Diocese.<\/p>\n

The conference prayed for the soul of the newly reposed Archbishop Stylianos of the Greek Orthodox Church of Australia. May his memory be eternal!<\/p>\n

After lunch, two presentations were addressed, \u201cPastoral Reflections on the sacrament of Marriage\u201d by Fr Gabriel Makarov and \u201cCatechising Australia. How we can minimise post baptismal disaffiliation,\u201d by Fr Andrew Smith. Both lectures were thought provoking and of great practical importance to all priests.<\/p>\n

A fulsome discussion of a range of pastoral matters followed: Diocesan Youth initiatives, publication of the Diocesan Journal \u201cWord of the Church,\u201d use of bilingual liturgical texts and the academic progress of the Diocesan Theological School \u201cSts. Cyril and Methodius Orthodox Institute.\u201d<\/p>\n

Special attention was given to the new ecclesiology propagated by the Patriarchate of Constantinople and the troubles in the Ukraine. The Conference wishes to affirm its complete support for the suffering Canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church and fervently prays for the health and spiritual resolve of His Eminence Metropolitan Onufry, the episcopate, clergy and faithful in this time of persecution.<\/p>\n
