Archbishop Demetrios to Chair First Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Hierarchs May 26-28

The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America website reports today (May 15, 2010) that more than 50 hierarchs will take part in the first Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops in North and Central America, to be chaired by His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios of America in New York City, May 26-28, 2010.

The Assembly is the result of the decision of the Fourth Pre-Conciliar Pan-Orthodox Conference, which met in Chambesy, Switzerland in June 2009.

The Assembly -- one of 12 that will be convened around the world in regions where there is no single Orthodox presence -- will consist of the active canonical bishops who reside in the region designated as North and Central America.

The Assembly will convene at the Helmsley Park Lane Hotel, where accommodations and arrangements have been coordinated by the staff of Archbishop Demetrios.
