On November 4/17 through 5/19, Metropolitan Chrysostomos of Attika and Bishop Photios of Marathon, who were in America as representatives of the Archbishop, visited Holy Transfiguration Monastery in Boston, Massachusetts. They were received very warmly and hospitably and given a tour of the monastery and as well as of Holy Nativity Convent, which is located nearby. Afterwards, they had several meetings with Metropolitans Ephraim of Boston, Makarios of Toronto, and Bishop Demitrius of Carlisle. These meetings, conducted at the Diocesan Headquarters in Boston, were conducted for the purpose of becoming better acquainted with the bishops of HOCNA (the Holy Orthodox Church in North America, which like our Church, follows the Old Calendar and opposes the pan-heresy of Ecumenism), with a view to initiating a dialogue in order to overcome the unfortunate separation. The atmosphere of these meetings was very positive and we pray that further meetings will be established soon.

This visit followed an earlier visit of Metropolitan Pavlos of North and South America and Bishop Christodoulos of Theoupolis with other Metropolis clergy to Holy Transfiguration Monastery on August 12/25, 2008.

It is the desire of the hierarchs of our Church that all traditionalist-minded Orthodox Christians be united and that the separations which have troubled the Church in the past few decades come to an end. May God bless this holy endeavor!

Morning and Evening Prayers

Q. Are the prayers in the blue prayer book [A Prayerbook for Orthodox Christians by the Holy Transfiguration Monastery —ed.] compulsory for everyone? I mean their morning prayers and the service of Small Compline. My confessor gave me a special rule but wasn’t clear about whether this replaced the book prayers or was in addition to them.
