8. September 2009 - 12:23Communiqué regarding rumors on practice of Dushan Davidovic – former Bishop Damaskin
8. September 2009 - 13:09
Being concerned for orthodox Serbian people on the fifth continent, which is entrusted to us, and having a responsibility towards the God Himself and the Holy Church of Christ we are forced to issue a communiqué which is essential for all the orthodox Serbian people, whose spiritual and national being certain forces are trying to destroy. Namely, certain information has come to us that the former Bishop Damaskin or Dushan Davidovic should arrive in Australia with a goal to be installed as the head of the non-canonical Greek old calendar diocese and three Serbian church-school communities which administrations had, illegally and by conducting a total autocracy, separated from the Serbian Orthodox Church.
The Church is One and Indivisible
20. August 2009 - 11:47A Pastoral Reflection on the administrative re-unification of our Church in North and South America
From its beginning the Holy Church has been, is, and ever shall be, above all the Body of Christ.
The Apostle Paul, while imprisoned in Rome between the year 61 and 63
AD, fostering in loving kindness and with patience one part of Christ's
Body, the young and tender Ephesine Christian community, wrote an
Epistle, which today is known as The Epistle of Apostle Paul to the Ephesians. The main themes of the Paul's address to teh Ephesians are: Christ as the head and the cornerstone of the Church, and The Unity of the Spirit and faith in the Church. Emphasizing the importance of the unity among the members of the one Body, i.e. Church, the Holy Apostle wrote:
"I
therefore, a prisoner for the Lord,beg you to lead a life worthy of the
calling to which you have been called, with all lowliness and meekness,
with patience, forbearing one another in love, eager to maintain the
unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one
Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your
call, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of us all,
who is above all and through all and in all" (Eph. 4:1-6, RSV).
