Ministries

These Agencies, Organizations, Commissions, and Consultations originated under the Standing Conference of Orthodox Bishops in America (SCOBA), but by a decision of the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of North and Central America at their first meeting, they now exist under the aegis of the Assembly (please see Message of the Assembly of Bishops, May 26-28, 2010).
