All American Council in St. Louis, MO - July 23rd-27th - 07/15/18

Last updated: 2022-11-06 20:12:11

According to the Statute of The Orthodox Church in America, "the highest legislative and administrative authority within the Church is the All-American Council" (Article III, Section 1). All parishes are required to send delegates to the All-American Council. Every three years, the bishops, clergy and lay delegates of the Orthodox Church in America gather together in Council. The Church assembles for various reasons: to pray together, to discuss the state of the Church, to share experiences and thoughts, and then to deliberate and to make decisions affecting her life. The 19th All-American Council is to be held on July 23 to 27, 2018 with the theme "For the Life of the World" from Protopresbyter Alexander Schmemann's book of the same name. This Council builds on the work of the 18th All-American Council and integrates a discussion on the future work of the Church in North America. Catalina Finck and Fr. Barnabas will be representing St. Michael’s. Please pray for safe travels and a fruitful AAC.

The Mission of The Orthodox Church in America, the local autocephalous Orthodox Christian Church, is to be faithful in fulfilling the commandment of Christ to “Go into all the world and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…”

St. Michael's is part of the Diocese of Eastern Pennsylvania, which is presided over by The Most Reverend Mark (Maymon), Archbishop of Philadelphia and Eastern Pennsylvania. Our mission is bringing the joy of Christ's resurrection to those who have never heard the Good News, and to strengthen and encourage the faithful who reside within Wilmington and the local area.

More Information >

The Holy Scripture is a collection of books written over multiple centuries by those inspired by God to do so. It is the primary witness to the Orthodox Christian faith, within Holy Tradition and often described as its highest point. It was written by the prophets and apostles in human language, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and collected, edited, and canonized by the Church.

Daily Readings >

Holiness or sainthood is a gift (charisma) given by God to man, through the Holy Spirit. Man's effort to become a participant in the life of divine holiness is indispensable, but sanctification itself is the work of the Holy Trinity, especially through the sanctifying power of Jesus Christ, who was incarnate, suffered crucifixion, and rose from the dead, in order to lead us to the life of holiness, through the communion with the Holy Spirit.
