The group mentioned in the link is from...Joseph, <br /><br /> The group mentioned in the link is from what is now called the 'Assyrian Church of the East' (Nestorians), while the bishop mentioned in this post is from what is now called the Syriac Orthodox Church (Jacobites). The link here is largely the enormous influence that Russia was exerting in the Middle East in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.Samn!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14142811721903345946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687886961771238263.post-58846071601922687622012-12-06T17:12:00.430-05:002012-12-06T17:12:00.430-05:00http://www.rocorstudies.org/church-people/lives-of...http://www.rocorstudies.org/church-people/lives-of-bishops/2009/12/10/bishop-john-of-urmia/<br /><br />The reception in St. Petersburg in 1898 of the group mentioned in this obituary - was it related?

The large town of Sadat with still five functioning Churches, east of the highway Damascus, Homs, Aleppo, close to Qaryat-Ain and MAr Moussa, to this day remains entirely Syriac orthodox, resp. catholic. Prior to the year 2000 I had the priviledge to partake in an ecumenical pilgrimage starting in Sadat going to Qaryat-Ain, were all xpctian leaders of Homs, Metr. George Abu-Zakhm (orth.), Metr. Ibrahim Nehme (melkite gr.-cath), Metr. Silouanos an-Nehme (syr.-orth.), Metr. Theophilus Geroge KAssab (syr.-cath.), Choreposcopa MAssoud Massoud (maronite) and a protestant pastor took part. The thoroughly syriac character of these town east of Homs, starting in AN-Nabk startled me - they become syriac-melkite west of the High way, like the frecoes in the orthodox parish church of Deir-Attieh show.<br />MAy the Lord grant HIS PEACE to this blessed land.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687886961771238263.post-35520459152339394172012-11-20T14:15:14.097-05:002012-11-20T14:15:14.097-05:00An interesting account to be sure.

Ditto the reference to the icons - they are universal, in Chalcedonian and non-Chalcedonian Orthodoxy.Jon Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17906335382429497204noreply@blogger.com
