Preconciliar Commission expands schedule of Town Hall meetings

SYOSSET, NY [OCA Communications]

On Monday, June 16, 2008, the Preconciliar Commission charged with making preparations for the Orthodox Church in America’s 15th All-American Council met at the OCA Chancery here.

“A main topic of the meeting was the Town Hall meetings now under way throughout the Church in preparation for the All-American Council,” said the Archpriest Andrew Jarmus, OCA director of ministries and communications. “The first Town Hall meeting, which was very positively received by participants, took place Saturday, June 8, 2008, at Annunciation Cathedral in Ottawa, Canada. This meeting was the first of an initial nine planned in locations in the US and Canada.”

“Preconciliar Commission members discussed other locations which had been listed previously but had not yet been scheduled, among them the New York City area,” Father Andrew added. “They also reviewed new locations that have been suggested since the first Town Hall schedule was posted on the internet.”

The expanded Town Hall meeting schedule is found below.

Commission members also reviewed the latest submissions to the 15th All-American Council email address. These submissions may be downloaded in PDF format here.

The 15th All-American Council will open on Monday, November 10, 2008 and run through Thursday, November 13, at the Pittsburgh Hilton Hotel, Pittsburgh, PA.
