IMPORTANT NEW INFORMATION

The Diocese of Gracanica and Midwestern America
(DG&MwA) has issued a decree that was adopted
at the Diocesan Meeting in April 2011.  

The Document they mailed can be found HERE

This document contains greater perils that “the Constitution,
Uniform rules and Regulations and General Regulations
of the Serbian Orthodox Church in North and
South America” (Constitution) that was forced
on the New Gracanica churches.  
The Serbian Orthodox Church of North and
South America (SOCNSA) Constitution has major flaws
that threaten the existence of the local Serbian communities
that have evolved with the Church as the central
cornerstone of their existence.  

There are good examples of what happens
when the community spirit is broken and the Church
becomes simply a religious “fee for service”.  
The community element is lost and becomes independent
which then leads the Church into financial difficulty
since the parishioners are divided both in loyalty and purpose.

A review of their document, clause by clause,
Found HERE 

reveals where the problems are.
It must be rejected by every local Church Board.

Acceptable 
Constitution Amendments

The Committee is currently reviewing the current Constitution,
which was never legally adopted, and seeing which Articles
in it need to be addressed and rewritten.
Our Mandate guides us to propose amendments
which all churches will find acceptable and that will
resolve the conflicts we find within it. 

In 1993 and 1994 the St Sava Church Committee
went through the proposed Constitution of that time to suggest
acceptable amendments to it. If a Sabor had ever been held
to ratify that Constitutions these amendments would have been
submitted to the Legislative Committee and put into the Ustav. 
Without these proposed Article amendments
it would not have been ratified.

Click HERE to download a working copy,
now under Committee review, to see the proposals
being worked with. This document will be updated
as the Committee finalizes it's review.
