In accordance with article 12 of the Charter of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America Archbishop Demetrios in consultation with the Eparchial Synod named His Eminence Metropolitan Nicholas of Detroit as locum tenens, until a successor is elected
Metrolpolitan Iakovos.
Eonia imnim,,
Memory Eternal,
Vecchnaya Pamjat
Rest in Peace.
O heavenly King, O Comforter, the Spirit of Truth
who are in all places and fillest all things:
Treasury of good things and Giver of life:
Come and dwell in us and cleanse us from every stain,
and save our souls, O good One.
Memory eternal!
“locum tenens”
I’m very surprised they don’t have or didn’t use a Greek term for that.
Memory Eternal!
The term must have been in use long prior to AD 1054.
“The term must have been in use long prior to AD 1054.”
Maybe, but I seriously doubt it. I bet it’s just some thing that has become a near universal because of it’s place in secular law.
I always enjoyed his visits to our parish. Memory eternal!
My Dad belonged to St. Michaels on the East Side. Serbian Orthodox. I heard they moved to Indiana though.
No, they moved to the outskirts of Lansing, Illinois. They finished building a beautiful church out there about 15-16 years ago.
Maybe we will get down there and see it one day We’re a few hours away by car. I miss being able to visit the cemetery at Oak Hill.
The church is worth seeing. Some of my wife’s people are buried at Oak Hill. Oak Hill is in much better condition these days. They got into trouble from the city a few years ago for not adequately keeping up the grounds. They got their act together and, with the help of some very active volunteers, they got the place to look pretty nice.
It’s been 3 years since I have been able to get there. My grandparents, great grandparents and 2 great uncles are there. Narantic and Vukmirovich.
