Founder of the Indonesian Orthodox Church Visits the Monastery

Our brotherhood was blessed with a visit by our friend Archimandrite Daniel, founder of the Indonesian Orthodox Church. Father Daniel is a convert from Islam and a wonderful evangelist for Christ and Holy Orthodoxy. He is under the Patriarchate of Moscow, and is traveling around the United States, raising money for his mission. Please remember to pray for the success of this God protected mission, and for the safety and well being of Father Daniel and his clergy and flock. As we all know, it is dangerous for Christians living under Islam, and especially dangerous for converts from Islam, being under a ban of death.

The Indonesian Orthodox Church is dependent on the prayers and donations of God’s people everywhere. Without your support, this new, struggling community of believers would be in danger of extinction. Please give generously to our brothers and sisters in Indonesia. You may do so by sending a check to Friends of Indonesia, PO Box 9484, Baltimore, MD 21228.

We encourage you to visit their website as well, at: http://www.friendsofindonesia.org.

Memory Eternal!

The monastery requests the prayers of our supporters and friends for the soul of Elizabeth Dolores Parsons, mother of Hieromonk Tryphon.  Mrs. Parsons reposed in the Lord on Sunday morning, 20 January.

She and Father Tryphon’s father, Zachariah Albert Parsons (who reposed in 2000) both converted to the Holy Orthodox Faith while in their mid seventies, and were members of St. John the Baptist Antiochian Orthodox Church in Post Falls, Idaho.  Following a Pannikhida service in the monastery’s temple on the 23rd of January, a full funeral service was celebrated for her in her home parish on Saturday, 26 January.  Internment was in the St. John’s Parish Cemetery, where Mrs. Parsons was laid to rest next to her husband.

Memory Eternal, O Lord, grant unto Thy servant Elizabeth.

Hieromonk Tryphon Attends Chaplains Conference

Hieromonk Tryphon once again attended the International Conference of Police Chaplains training at the Christian Conference Center in Canon Beach,Oregon. The week long conference is part of an ongoing training program sponsored by the ICPC that prepares police and fire chaplains to better serve their departments and their communities. This was the sixth ICPC conference for Father Tryphon, who began his service as a fire chaplain following eight years as a volunteer prison chaplain with the Washington State Reformatory in Monroe, Washington. Father Tryphon is a graduate of the Police and Fire Chaplains Academy at the Washington State Criminal Justice Center in Burien, Washington. Some eighty chaplains from the states of Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, Northern California and Hawaii were in attendance.
