Archdiocesan Assembly Postponed Until November
The General Assembly of the Archdiocese of Russian Churches in Western Europe, scheduled for March 30 , was reformatted by the Locum Tenens of the Exarchate, Metropolitan Emmanuel of France, into an informal conference, without the right to make decisions, as planned. About 200 delegates gathered, half clergy, half lay, from all over the diocese: from France itself, Holland, Sweden, Great Britain. The discussion, according to eyewitnesses, was lively, but peaceful. The meeting lasted from 9 a.m.
