Topic: Archimandrite



  
 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Archimandrite
The archimandrite is appointed by ecclesiastical authority (patriarch, metropolitan, bishop), also in Russia, by the Holy Synod, and in some monasteries by election.
At present there are in the Greek Church two kinds of archimandrites, the original monastic officers exercising jurisdiction in their respective monasteries, and honorary archimandrites and well-educated priests attached to chanceries of the great partiarchates (e.g.
Originally the archimandrite seems to have been only the superior or abbot of his own monastery; gradually, however, he came to exercise authority over a number of monasteries and by the eleventh the archimandrites of such monastic centres as Mount Athos, and Mount Olympus in Bithynia, were the equivalent of our Western abbots-general.

 St Silouan the Athonite
He is the spiritual son of the founder of the Monastery, the late and highly revered Archimandrite Sophrony (Sakharov), the disciple of St. Silouan the Athonite (+1938).
One's wretchedness before God is excruciatingly and unremittingly apparent, and yet in that very moment joy is born into the soul as the supreme love of God is revealed as the vanquisher of sin, rescuing him from the abyss of despair.
Another theme that Archimandrite Zacharias emphasized was "prayer for the whole world." Following the living experience of his saintly predecessors, Father Zacharias described how true prayer of the spirit realizes the ontological unity of humanity.

 Shenouda the Archimandrite - OrthodoxWiki
He is called Archimandrite (the head of anchorites) because he used to practice the hermetic (isolated) life from time to time, and he also used to encourage some of his monks to withdraw to the desert after a few years of coenobetic life (living together in monastic community).

 Archimandrite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Archimandrite (Greek: ἀρχιμανδρίτης — archimandrites) is a title in the Eastern Orthodox Church for a superior abbot who has the supervision of several abbots and monasteries appointed by a bishop.
In 1874 the Russian monasteries were secularized and classified into three classes, and the head of a monastery of the second or first class is called archimandrite.

 Archimandrite - OrthodoxWiki
In Greek usage, archimandrite was originally equivalent to igumen, the traditional title for an abbot of a monastery, but after the 6th century came to refer to the abbots of particularly large or important monasteries, often having multiple monasteries under his care.
An archimandrite (literally, "chief of a sheepfold") is a celibate priest who has been elevated to an honorific rank, one level lower than bishop.
In Slavic usage, the rank of igumen is given to celibate priests as a lower rank than archimandrite.

The Church of Serbia entered the W.C.C. in 1965 (2); thereafter, as Patriarch German began to participate actively in the ecumenical movement—in fact, immediately after his aforementioned declaration—, the ever-memorable dogmatist, Archimandrite Justin (Popovich), ceased to consider him an Orthodox Hierarch and ceased his canonical commemoration, as well as all ecclesiastical relations with him.

One happy day we had a phone call from Ari Merimsky: For a set fee, the Archimandrite Gregorios of the Greek Church in Bethlehem would let us put his name on the backstamp and his photo on the sales literature.
Ari explained in an accompanying note: This is the man who greets the tour buses, and he felt sunglasses were as major a part of his image as was his bushy black beard.
