Another important subject on the agenda is represented by the metropolitan monastic synaxis, which meets every three years. Regarding the liturgical activities, we have to examine a published draft edition of the Akathist of St Hierarch Gregory the Enlightener of Armenia. Another subject is related to offering support to the Metropolis of Bessarabia, in conformity with the decision of the Holy Synod stating that every diocese from across the country should support according to their possibilities the neighbouring dioceses, and in our case to support more often the Metropolis of Bessarabia. We also have on the agenda the elevation of Strâmbu Skete in the Bishopric of Giurgiu to the rank of a monastery. All these subjects, to which some other are added regarding the discipline of the clergy and of monastics, are on the agenda of the Metropolitan Synod, as a necessity of preparing in due time the activities of next year, and in order to examine other problems”, His Beatitude Patriarch Daniel stated at the opening of the working session.
