SCOBA bishops

SCOBA Hierarchs met in Syosset, NY for their fall meeting hosted by newly enthroned Primate of the OCA Metropolitan Herman.



The Standing Conference of Canonical Orthodox Bishops in the Americas (SCOBA), established in 1960, brings together the canonical hierarchs of the Orthodox jurisdictions in America. The purpose of the Conference is to make the ties of unity among the canonical Orthodox Churches and their administrations stronger and more visible.

The hierarchs meet twice annually for discussions and decisions on matters of common concern. Various commissions and committees have been established to implement the decisions of SCOBA. Among these are the Orthodox Christian Education Commission (OCEC); International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC); the Orthodox Christian Mission Center (OCMC); the Military Chaplaincy Commission; the Study and Planning Commission; the Scouting Commission, the Orthodox Campus Commission and the Social and Moral Issues Commission.
