The Publications of the Antiochian Catholic Church in America (ACCA)
Shlama Amkhon! Peace to All!
These pages are primarily dedicated to the
dissemination of our Saint Thomas Prayerbook.
The prayerbook previously at this URL was that published in 1998 for trial
use in our parishes. The excerpts now presented here are from the final
draft.
Listed below the
Prayerbook
services are Communion Hymns based on the readings from the Odes of
Solomon given in the ACCA Hudra (Lectionary).
Lastly, there have
been added some essays on spiritual subjects written by the clergy of our
jurisdiction.
All of these materials
are copyright, by the Antiochian Catholic Church in America. Permission
for the use in churches of the Services and Hymns may be obtained from
MAR
MICHAEL, Mitran of the ACCA. While no money is charged for the use
of the Services, acknowledgment must be given in print to this source.
Any questions regarding the site or the texts, other than permission for
use should be directed to me, Avva
Andreas.
The Reader's patience
during the length of this project has been appreciated, and the Editor
prays that this final edition will meet with both the same general approbation
and proof of serviceability, not only to the ACCA but also to the larger
American Oriental Orthodox community, that its predecessor enjoyed.
Of your kindness
please pray for the servant of God, Avva Andreas, the editor of this site.
