17 May 2007, 13:42ROCOR head named in Russian Church prayer for first time
Moscow, May 17, Interfax - A worship service in Moscow on Thursday became the first ever occasion in which the name of the head of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR) was mentioned as a Moscow Synod member in a communion prayer at a Church run by the Moscow Patriarchate.
The service, held at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow, Russia's main Orthodox cathedral, followed a ceremony in which the Moscow-based Russian Orthodox Church and ROCOR signed an agreement that brought them into communion with each other.
The pact, signed at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, makes the ROCOR hierarchy members of the Moscow Synod.
The name of the ROCOR head, Metropolitan Laurus, was mentioned as the bread and wine was being carried to the table where, according to the Orthodox tradition, they would become the body and blood of Christ during a special prayer.
A prayer said during the procession, which is called the Great Entry, normally includes mentioning the names of all clergy taking part in the service. |
