Welcome Message
In July 2025, the bishops, clergy, monastics, and faithful of the Orthodox Church in America will gather in one place for the 21st All-American Council. Our gathering in Phoenix, Arizona, will not be in the upper room where the disciples once received the grace of the Holy Spirit in a rush of wind and in the form of fiery tongues. Yet we, too “have seen the true light; we have received the heavenly Spirit” through holy Baptism and Chrismation. Thus, when we gather as Church, it is the grace of the Holy Spirit that calls us together. On those blazing July days, the Spirit will be no less present in our midst than in the days of the apostles, and we will seek the Spirit’s inspiration and guidance to act in one accord for the sake of the proclamation of the kingdom.
