Re: Official Minutes and Documents of the 14th All-American Council

The Statute of The Orthodox Church in America, Article III, Section 10, states: “... Within a period of not more than 60 days after the final adjournment of the Council, the official text of the minutes shall be mailed to each delegate.”

In order to comply with the Statute’s directive and also to save the cost of printing and shipping, the official text of the minutes and other documents relating to the 14th All-American Council are being distributed electronically to delegates and observers and are being posted for downloading on the website of The Orthodox Church in America (http://www.oca.org) on September 14, 2005. The minutes and other documents will be posted in .pdf format for your convenience. They may be reproduced and distributed as may be deemed appropriate.

If you do not have Internet access, kindly contact someone who does and who can assist you in obtaining a copy from the OCA website.

Should you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Archpriest Joseph Fester, Assistant to the Chancellor (516-922-0550; ext. 129).
