Statements from the Assembly of Bishops

Beloved in Christ,

As mentioned in my homily last week, I want to provide you with two important documents/statements made recently by the Assembly of Bishops.

The first is a comprehensive statement of the Orthodox Church’s regard for human life and, in particular, the termination of human life. It speaks to multiple situations and scenarios, including the death penalty. You can find it here.

The second is a statement specific to the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade. It can be found here.

I hope you find both of these statements to be valuable. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Yours in Christ,

Fr Aaron
