General

Notes

  1. ^ The first immigrant of Greek origin is reportedly Dr. Peter Constantinides[2] who came to Toronto in 1864 to attend the Medical School at the University of Toronto. On May 21st 1909 a meeting was held at the Y.M.C.A. attended by about 200 Greeks living in Toronto. They constituted themselves into a corporate body identified as the "St. George Greek Orthodox Community of Ontario".[3][4]
  2. ^ Members of the Canadian Conference of Orthodox Bishops.
  3. ^ The Pachomaioi are perhaps best known for their work on the Basilica church of Saint Demetrios, Thessalonike. They have also painted the convent church of Panaghia Malevi in Kynouria, Greece.[8]
  4. ^ George Martell Miller (1854/5-1933) was born in Port Hope and educated at the School of Practical Science, University of Toronto, working for Charles Walton in 1883-5. In practice on his own by 1886, he designed a number of important buildings and was also the supervising architect for the construction of Massey Hall. Many of Miller's drawings are held in the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library, University of Toronto.[10]
  5. ^ Patriarch Bartholomew visited Toronto May 30-31, 1998 as part of his first-ever visit to Canada.[17]
  6. ^ At a meeting, held at the Ukrainian Peoples’ Home on October 31, 1926, the decision was made to lay the foundation for the parish.[20]
  7. ^ In 1935, the congregation bought the site at 400 Bathurst St. on which to erect a church. But for their immediate needs, the Congregation acquired a large building at 404 Bathurst.[20]
  8. ^ The new church was officially opened and named St. Vladimir’s Church.[20]
  9. ^ On November 2, 1949 Archbishop Joasaph of Edmonton, representing the synod of bishops of the Russian Orthodox church outside of Russia, appointed Father Mathew Andrushenko as rector of the new parish. Reminiscent of the early days of Christianity, the small community gathered in a rented loft above a laundry on Parliament Street near Queen. Here they brought beautiful icons and began holding services. The very first took place on December 15, 1949 with Father Mathew. Eleven people were present at that service.[27]
  10. ^ A small church was built by the hands of the first parishioners on Richmond Street just west of Berkeley, in Cabbagetown. It was begun in the autumn of 1952 and was consecrated on September 6, 1953 by Archbishop Vitaly.[27]
  11. ^ The Beth Jacob Synagogue was the first synagogue to be built by a Jewish architect in the city.[31] One of the founders of the synagogue was Samuel Tepperman (d. March 1, 1960).[32] The Beth Jacob congregation dedicated their new location in Downsview (147 Overbrook Place, Toronto, Ontario) beginning on Friday May 30, 1969,[33] however they had moved to 147 Overbrook as early as 1966.
  12. ^ Bishop Hilarion Alfeyev later became the Archbishop of Volokolamsk, and chairman of the Department of External Church Relations (DECR) of the Russian Orthodox Church).
  13. ^ Not members of the Canadian Conference of Orthodox Bishops.
  14. ^ The Old Calendar schism occurred in 1935, when three bishops (Germanos of Demetrias, the former Metropolitan of Florina, Chrysostom (Kavouridis), and Chrysostomos (Demetriou) of Zakynthos) declared their separation from the official Church of Greece stating that the calendar change that had been implemented in 1924 was a schismatic act. Greek Old Calendarist groups maintain that they have not separated over a mere calendar, rather that the calendar is a symptom of what has been called "the pan-heresy of ecumenism."
  15. ^ Up until the Spring of 2011, these three Toronto parishes formed the Holy Orthodox Metropolis of Toronto, which was a part of the Holy Orthodox Church in North America (HOCNA), an "Independent" Old Calendar Jurisdiction that included the three Metropolises of Toronto, Portland, and Boston. In the Spring of 2011 however, after several years of controversy over the autonomous canonical status of HOCNA, as well as controversy regarding the teaching of the posthumous salvation of non-Orthodox (as taught by Metropolitan Ephraim and Archimandrite Panteleimon of the Metropolis of Boston), the entire Metropolis of Portland (along with its bishops, Metropolitan Moses and his assistant Bishop Sergius),[34] and all the parishes of the Metropolis of Toronto (without the cathedral and the person of Metropolitan Makarios), were received by the Genuine Orthodox Church of Greece under the omophorion of Archbishop Kallinikos of Athens and All Greece. As a part of this jurisdiction, they are now directly under the Holy Metropolis of the G.O.C. of America, under His Eminence, Metropolitan Pavlos of North and South America.
  16. ^ See also:
  17. ^ Built in 1890, as a 19th century Anglican church, it has been the Serbian community's downtown-Toronto local church since the 1960s.[36]
  18. ^ This was a recent architectural project (2002-2005), to partially demolish, totally renovate, and add to, an existing 500 sm, circa 1890, church, in order to create a 1,700 sm/18,000 sf, universally-accessible, barrier-free, 4-storey, single-aisled, basilica and community centre. Stylistically, the building synthesizes Serbian late-Byzantine architectural-styles and iconography. It has many copper domes, cupolas, and trim; and great lighting & wood panels.[37]
  19. ^ As a result of an internal conflict ca.late 2009/early 2010, this parish was transferred out of the Serbian Orthodox Diocese of Canada , and placed under the Archdiocese of Etna (California) . The first Liturgy under the new jurisdiction was on Sunday April 11, 2010.
  20. ^ See: Parishes and Monasteries abroad. Confessor (Unofficial site).
  21. ^ In 1995, a resistance faction of six bishops formed within the Old Calendar Florinte Synod of Archbishop Chrysostom (Kiousis) (Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christians of Greece) and separated itself over what they claimed to be a series of canonical infractions, headed by Metropolitan Kallinikos (Hatzis) of Lamia. By early 1997, the movement had fragmented into three groups, one of which reconciled with Archbishop Chrysostom (Kiousis). A second group, led by Paisios Loulourgas (Met. of America) and Vikentios Malamatenios (titular Bp. of Avlona), submitted to the Ecumenical Patiarchate (in 1998).[38] Later in 1997, Kallinikos of Lamia and Euthymios of Thessaloniki proceeded to ordain five titular bishops in an attempt to create a new synod; in 2003, they finally decided to elect a primate, and elected Makarios (Kavakides) of Athens.
  22. ^ The first Primate of Athens selected by the Matthewites was Agathangelos of Athens in 1958, who reposed in 1967. His successor was Archbishop Andreas of Athens who was elected to the primacy in 1972, retiring in 2003 (+2005). In 2003 Archbishop Nicholas of Athens was elected, considered by many to have a progressive vision for the Matthewite church.
  23. ^ In 1967 the Church in Macedonia unilaterally declared its autocephaly from the Serbian Orthodox Church, a move which is not recognised by any of the churches of the Eastern Orthodox Communion, and since then, the Macedonian Orthodox Church is not in communion with any Orthodox Church.
