Acknowledgement of Sponsorship by the Fund For Assistance to ROCOR
In July of 2008 the Australian and New Zealand Diocesan Liturgical Music Committee organised the 5th Diocesan Choral Conference.
The conference took place in Sydney over a period of 5 days and its already rich programme was greatly enhanced by the presence and inclusion of the Moscow Danilov Monastery Choir.
Conference activities included a range of lectures, workshops, demonstrations, divine services and concerts, all aimed at teaching and improving the skills of church choir conductors, singers and readers.
The participation in the conference of many young people from parishes all over the diocese was particularly encouraging as it attests to continued interest, growth and development of our church choirs.
The organising members of the Diocesan Liturgical Committee should be very heartily congratulated for their tremendous effort and for a job done so well. May our Lord bless their endeavours, always!Continue Reading
Преосвященные собратья-архипастыри, всечестные отцы-сослужители, дорогие братья, сестры и дети мои во Христе! Примите мое первое рождественское приветствие, обращенное к Полноте Русской Зарубежной Церкви. Для нового и столь высокого служения мне необходима особая милость Божия, обновляющая мои скудные силы. Усердно прошу всех вас молиться о том, чтобы Господь укрепил меня в несении нового и ответственного послушания.
