The Voice of Fr. Alexander

As we begin celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Fr Alexander Schmemann (+1983), we are so pleased to share his voice with you. His words, captured decades ago, are further proof that Fr. Alexander remains a voice for our time. #YearOfSchmemann pic.twitter.com/sF3gg2nKRL

Does He Have a Local Cult?

The OCA should just get it over with and canonize Schmemann already. pic.twitter.com/fNCYwsOgiO

A Development in Sacramental Practice Due to COVID-19

I didn't know of the OCA decision until yesterday. How is it viewed by other jurisdictions? Will it lead to the judgment that such a practice is valid but normally illicit?

5. Confession:

Taking into consideration the spiritual and mental healing that comes through the Sacrament of Confession, the Holy Synod blesses, for all priests and communities in the Orthodox Church in America, that for this period:

The Sacrament of Confession may not be held in person during this period, except for those who are among the limited “crew” of servers and singers in a parish or mission that is holding Divine Services. If thus done in person, six (6) feet of social distance must be maintained, as well as must be all other civil and public health measures applicable in the locality.
The Sacrament of Confession may be held over the telephone or by live video communication.
If Confession is heard over the telephone or by live video, the priest must read the Prayer of Absolution before ending the phone call or video communication, in the hearing of the penitent.
If anyone of the faithful is uncomfortable with Confession over the phone, then he or she is not bound to confess, but may wait until a time when in-person Confessions will be possible again.
