:That sounds good - this is just how a wiki works - one person knows a detail, another adds other information, and the article improves gradually. — [[User:FrJohn|<b>FrJohn</b>]] ([http://www.orthodoxwiki.org/User_talk:FrJohn&action=edit&section=new talk])
Nectarios, I'm not clear why you are trying to remove the association of this Russian community with ROCOR. it appears to me that you are trying to shape the article to assert that ROCOR has an exclusive canonical claim to the Hawaiian Islands. Can you be more clear about why you're making these edits?
 
  
From an OCA point of view, Hawaii is part of North America, which constitutes is proper canonical territory, following the ''tomos'' from Moscow. I don't think this is a terribly helpful or productive battle to fight though -- we must all recognize the reality of the historical situation in America (and all the "diaspora" lands) , with all of its opportunities and challenges. Ideally, there would be a united Orthodox church in these regions, but I don't think this will happen anytime soon. I agree we need to keep proper canonical order in mind, but it shouldn't be a stick with which we beat each other with - rather, something we work towards in charity and brotherhood. — [[User:FrJohn|<b>FrJohn</b>]] ([http://www.orthodoxwiki.org/User_talk:FrJohn&action=edit&section=new talk])

According to Church canon law, the hierarchs have final say on anything a priest does.  So what you're saying Fr. Andrew, is that no Orthodox bishop has control over this site? A site which clearly deals with Orthodoxy and it's "image" to the world?? Perhaps Vladika Job would like to hear how his priests are running around un-supervised.

It is very scarey that you are not being guided by a bishop.  You are espousing the Orthodox faith to people who do not know of it, and you are not being guided by a bishop??
 
 
 
This is unbelievable.  The Church has strict rules against this sort of thing.  So whatever your personal bias is, that is TRUTH??  This is wrong.  There should be a bishop guiding this site.

One more thing: whenever a priest writes an article or a book, it MUST be approved by a bishop.  And not just any bishop, your bishop.  A community of priests who moderate each other.  What are you Old-believers?  :-)

: We're all guided by our individual bishopsThe nature of a wiki project pretty much precludes a single hierarch being responsible for it.  (Would all of the clergy involved on this site need to get some sort of canonical release to be temporarily under the authority of another bishop when they're editing?)  Anyway, I'm sorry you don't approve of our structure, but it's worked very well for us since our inception in November 2004, and we've even had endorsement from several bishops.  (As for the Church's rules, do they really address how to run a wiki, a collaboration between dozens to thousands of editors stretched out over the whole world?)
 
 
 
: In any event, it's not a question of personal bias, but rather of Orthodox Christians working cordially together to try to present a balanced, encyclopedic site.  Whenever something particularly odd has been added to the site, it's usually fixed within a matter of a day or so, though usually only within a few hours or even minutes.
 
 
 
: We encourage you to join in and assist in this work.  I presume you operate with the blessing of your own bishop, as well.  &mdash;[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color="green" face="Adobe Garamond Pro, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fr.

Very good article. I'll put more materials in. I have more research but I need to translate it into English from Hawaiian--Marcus

There is so much info on Orthodoxy in Hawaii. There is stuff in Hawaiian about St. Innocent's visit to the Islands. I'll try to locate it and put it up. Great job to whomever wrote this article! --Poepoe77 12:40, August 28, 2007 (PDT)

ok. thank you Arthasfleo 02:34, September 18, 2007 (PDT)

The Milan Synod is an uncanonical Orthodox Christian jurisdiction. They are the most moderate of all the Greek Old-calendarists jurisdictions. They are very friendly to the OCA. But of course like all Old-calendarist parishes and monasteries, you may find some hostility. Of course this happens in any Orthodox Church that has one distinctive ethnic identity. They are good people. -12:52, September 22, 2007 (PDT) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Poepoe77 (talkcontribs) .
I know something about the Milan Synod. It is from here. It is a Churches "in resistance", a Florinite church. It is not a good monastery :( Arthasfleo 00:40, September 20, 2007 (PDT)
"Not good" here I assume just means non-canonical, outside the fold? — FrJohn (talk)
Not good from all of the points of view. Cannonical, salvation, and likeable for God. I love our church, not the schismatic one. :) Arthasfleo 03:18, September 21, 2007 (PDT)
The old-Calendarists are a good and faithful people. I don't agree with their politics, but they are very much Orthodox Christians. They are uncanonical, which means their canonical autonomy is not recognized because they do not commune with the Ecumenical Throne. This does not mean they lack canonicity, which is something completely different. Remember Russia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Georgia and many of the other autocephalous churches were out of communion with Constantinople at some time in their history and labelled "uncanonical". Were they schismatics? Were they not liked by God? There are many Russian saints who were proclaimed during the schism between Russia and Constantinople after the Council of Florence. Were they not saints? Were they not Orthodox? In the 90s the Moscow Patriarch broke off communion with the Constantinople Patriarch, was Pat Alexey II a schismatic? Of course not! -Nectarios 12:19, September 22, 2007 (PDT)

Iveron Icon

Something should be written for our Holy Icon here in Hawaii. I will ask permission from the Icon's Guardian to include something. People should know about this.
