A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - For the first time in history, several Orthodox bishops are attending the U-S bishops' fall meeting, taking place this week in Baltimore. The head of the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States addressed Catholic bishops on Tuesday. The Orthodox archbishop spoke about a dialogue of love between the two faiths, and the potential for increased unity. The Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need, will donate more than five million dollars, to help Christian communities in Lebanon and Syria. The funds will help establish a project to support young newlywed couples in Syria, who are starting families after ten years of war. Cathedrals and monuments around the world are illuminated in red this week, to build awareness about the plight of persecuted Christians. Pope Francis reflected on the witness of Saint Joseph, during his general audience today in Rome. The pope said Saint Joseph teaches us to see and care for the people who are overlooked by the world today. He said Saint Joseph reminds us that what is truly important does not attract our attention, but requires patient discernment to be discovered and appreciated. The Year of Saint Joseph will end on December 8. Today, the Church remembers Saint Elizabeth of Hungary. Elizabeth was a medieval noblewoman. She responded to personal tragedy by embracing the Franciscan spiritualities of poverty and service. She is a patron of secular Franciscans.

Ephemia was a Girl Scout starting in Kindergarten! Her favorite Girl Scout activities consisted of selling cookies and attending fun events. Her idea for her Gold Award project, EcoOrthodox, bloomed after she took a marine biology class her junior year of high school. In it she learned all about climate change and ocean pollution, as well as the single-use plastic problem, and wanted to find a solution for approaching the issue within her community. She noticed her church using tons of styrofoam and plastic containers during all of their events. Knowing the harm this does to not only us but the environment, Ephemia came up with EcoOrthodox.

There are well over 1 million Americans who classify themselves as Orthodox Christians. And while fundamental theological beliefs and practices are very similar, we do not always speak with one strong and unified voice. On top of that, our Orthodox Patriarchs identified a Canonical anomaly in the way Orthodoxy has evolved operationally in the United States. This led some of our distinguished Patriarchs to want to resolve this anomaly and address our lack of unity. The result was the formation of the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops. Its stated mission is to preserve and contribute to the unity of the Orthodox Church, and its goals include: 1. promoting Church unity in the United States; 2. strengthening the common pastoral ministry to all the Orthodox faithful and a common witness to all those outside the church; and 3. the organization of the Orthodox Church according to Canonical tradition. Ten years after its formation, what do you know about the Assembly of Bishops and what this distinguished group of over 55 Orthodox Hierarchs are working on? Tonight's program is devoted to a more thorough examination of the Assembly's accomplishments and plans. Bill's guests include Metropolitan Gregory of the American Carpatho Russian Orthodox Diocese and the current Secretary of the Assembly, Mark Arey its first Secretary, and Nicholas Anton its Director of Operations.

This week we're joined by Jason Ward. We wrap up with the Russian Orthodox Church.

That started in Episode 297 and continued in episodes 298 and 299. The Russian Orthodox Church's history in Russia is long and it's history in the United States is convoluted. Why? Empire, revolution, and immigration. The end result is the various Russian churches within the US. Orthodox Church in America The oldest is the Orthodox Church in America which got its start when a priest was sent to Kodiak Island where a Russian colony was being established in what was then Russian Alaska in 1794. Part of why the priest was sent was because there were already Russian Orthodox Christians among the Alaskan Natives in the Aleutian islands, having been converted during trade contact with Siberian fur traders. By 1796 one of the priests was consecrated a Bishop and just two years later he returned to Russia to report to the Imperial authorities about how the natives were being treated in the colony. He died during his return and he was not replaced. In 1811 the episcopal see in Alaska was officially closed. In 1824 another priest was sent to Alaska and in 1840 he was made Bishop of Kamchatka, the Kurile and Aleutian Islands, taking the name Innocent. In 1867 the United States purchased Alaska from the Russian Empire, which prompted the Diocese to be reorganized as the Aleutian Islands and Alaska and after a church was established in San Francisco and the episcopal see moved to San Francisco the diocese was renamed Aleutian Islands and America. Once they were in the continental United States the church quickly became multiethnic as other Orthodox and Eastern Rite Catholic immigrants joined with them. This all continued until the Bolsheviks took over in Russia. Many of the non-Russian churches joined with their own national churches, such as Greek churches moving to the Greek Orthodox Church of America and the Antiochian Orthodox churches that has been founded by a Syrian priest and under the support and funding of the Russian Orthodox Church. Patriarch Tikhon, who had previously been the Archbishop in the US, resisted the communist government. Before he was sent to prison he directed churches outside of Russia to become self governing until normal communication and relations could be restored. However, when communication was restored this group in the US refused to give up their self governance calling themselves the American Metropolia. Finally in 1970 they were able to patch things up with the Moscow Patriarchate which agreed to grant them Autocephaly, making them an independent Orthodox Church taking the name Orthodox Church in America. They are recognized by the Russian church and a few other Slavic churches, but not by the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople who objects under the claim that the Russian Patriarch did not have the right because he under Soviet control. The Orthodox Church in America continues to this day and considering a possible merger with the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Diocese in the United States and they are part of the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States of America, which churches under the Russian Patriarchate have left as a result of the schism between Moscow and Constantinople over Ukraine. Most of the members of the OCA today are not ethnically Russian. They have a proportionately large number of members from Alaskan Native and non-Russian Slavic populations within the US and a decent n...

As many of you know, an historic gathering took place this past week in New York City: All of the Canonical Orthodox Bishops (at least a goodly number of them) met to discuss matters which pertain to the Church in the Americas. The Orthodixie Podcast had a Man on the Street for the proceedings but, as this podcast is only updated about once a week,some of the information you are about to hear may seem contrary to other reports, or it may be a bit dated, or, frankly, it may be flat out untrue. (But have fun identifying the snippets of music in the podcast.)
