	Sobor
		The decisions of the sobor are binding on all the members of the particular church, although in the case of Ukrainian Catholics the decisions must first be approved by the pope.
		sobors are assemblies of representatives from a deanery under the authority of a protopresbyter.
		Sobors were convened periodically from then on; one notable assembly held in 1415 formed a separate metropoly for the church in Lithuanian lands.

	All-American Sobor - OrthodoxWiki
		The sobor was held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, from November 7-9, 1922, for the purpose of electing Platon (Rozhdestvensky) as the ruling hierarch of the North American diocese with the title of Metropolitan of All America and Canada.
		The election held at the sobor proved to be another step in the maturity of the old North American mission of the Church of Russia as the "old" and the "new" in the church polarized the discussions and the election on the question of further "Americanizing" the church by electing an American-born bishop.
		It was this sobor that received and assimilated the Tomos of autocephaly, granted by the Church of Russia on April 10, 1970.

	OCA - Synopsis of the 4th All-American Sobor
		Sensing increasing difficulties in communication with the Russian Church as evidenced by the conflicting information being received, the Fourth Sobor decided to declare the North American Church to be "temporarily self-governing" until such time as normal and regular relations could be reestablished with the Mother Church in Russia.
		Additionally, the sobor issued a strong statement against Kedrovsky and the "Living Church" with particular attention to safeguarding the canonical Church's property rights against spurious claims by schismatics in civil courts.
		In its proclamation of "temporary self-government," the Fourth Sobor can be perceived as a major stride in the maturation process of the American Church and a stepping-stone towards the autocephaly envisioned by Saint TIKHON in a 1905 report in preparation for an eventual All-Russian Church Council.

		The Sobor Was accordingly assembled and gave its consent to the imposition of a general tax on all the estates of the empire, on the tradesmen as on the "men of service." The amount of money to be demanded from the latter was not fixed; each person could pay what he liked.
		In 1682 a Sobor to which the inhabitants of Moscow alone were summoned, pronounced itself in favour of the occupation of the vacant throne by the youngest son of Alexis, the future emperor, Peter the Great.

		As a result of this, Witte proposed to Nicholas II that an assembly (a Sobor) of clergy be called so that issues could be raised in a public debate.
		When Witte managed to persuade Nicholas to agree to a pre-Sobor conference (Nicholas was not yet agreeable to a Sobor as he felt that it would lead to a church being ruled by an assembly), Pobedonestsev resigned, thus ending his domination of the Russian Church from 1881 to 1906.
		The future Sobor was to consist of one priest and one layman from each diocese elected by a bishop from a list of people chosen from a diocese conference.

	Protopresbyter Alexander Schmemann: The Church is Hierarchal
		The Sobor being the expression of the Church is itself a hierarchal organ, i.
		The Sobor is thus the expression of the common concern for the Church of all her members and the expression also of her hierarchal structure, and this is what "sobornost" and "sobornal" mean in Orthodoxy.
		To oppose the Moscow Sobor to the earlier tradition of the Church, to see in it the beginning of a "sobornal as opposed to the hierarchal Church" is therefore a pure distortion.

		There were three sessions of the Sobor, the first held from 15 August to 9 December 1917; the second from 20 January to 7 April 1918; and the third from 19 June to 7 September 1918.
		The second session of the Sobor concluded with the canon-isation of Martyrs Sophrony of Irkutsk and Joseph of Astrakhan.
		The papers of the Sobor made many general recommend-ations concerning the structure of parish life, but it is evident that the main point is that the marks of real membership of the Church are not only participation in liturgical life, but also involvement in good works and spreading the Gospel.

		Besides the regular Sobor of Bishops, extraordinary sobors may be called, for example, for the election of a new First Hierarch after the retirement or death of the former one, and also in the case of some other special events which give rise to the necessity to call an extraordinary sobor of Bishops.
		In the period between sobors, urgent and important questions lying within the competence of the Sobor, may be resolved by the Synod of Bishops by way of calling for comments from all the bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia.

		During the Sobor, Archbishop Anthony was elevated to the rank of Metropolitan of Kharkov, and later that summer was transferred to head the ancient Diocese of Kiev.
		The official sobor press releases use terms that imply that the Church in Exile remains part of the official Moscow Patriarchate, which we know is not true at all.
		The Sobor will take place in irony at the San Francisco Cathedral of the Holy Virgin, which His Eminence, the miracle-working St. John of Shanghai, established more than 40 years ago, and who reposes in a special cathedral crypt, and who was recognized and elevated to sainthood by the Church in 1995.

	Archbishop Mark 12 February 1998
		At the Diocesan Convention the clergy composed an appeal to the Hierarchical Sobor held in the Lesna Convent with the request that they bless the dialogues whose goal was the elucidation of the positions involved with a view to the possibility of a future All-Russian Local Council.
		But just because of this, I feel that for the correct direction of our Church needs, the First Hierarch needs an office in which his letters (all the more with those as harsh as this new missive to me) would be reviewed if only as to the reliability of their contents.
		Repeatedly in recent years the Sobor's measures expressed the need to clarify the relationship with the MP and other parts of the Russian Church.

	A Summary-View of the Three Previous ROCA Sobors
		ROCA was set upon a unfailing path, upon firm canonical rails, which ensured its canonically-sound road through life in the capacity of being the continuation of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Russian Orthodox Church, with her thousand-year-long tradition.
		The Sobor underscored is unity with Orthodox Rus', appealing to the World Conference (in Genoa) to aid the Russian people in their battle against their enslavers.
		Among the encyclicals we should note "The Appeal Of the Third All-Abroad Sobor Of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad To the American Metropolia" ["Obrascheniye Tret'yago Vsezarubezhnago Sobora Russkoy Pravoslavnoy Tserkvi Zagranitsey k Amerikanskoy Mitropolii"], which was evoked by the fact that the American Orthodox Church had become an autocephalous church of the MP.

	Glorification
		The chief criterion for canonization is the faithfulness of the clergy who received a martyric death to the Patriarchal Locum tenens Metropolitan Peter (Polyansky), according to Protopriest George (Mitrophanov), member of the Moscow Patriarchate's synodal commission for the canonization of saints.
		It should be noted that the Bishops' Sobor* in question may become an unprecedented one in the history of the Russian Church.
		Yes, but one must bear in mind that Emperor Nicholas II was the first Russian emperor since Peter I who recognized the necessity of convening a council and gave his consent to the preparation for it as early as 1906.

	Consecration of Bishops
		You may not be aware of the fact that the hierarchy of the Russian Orthodox Church was being used to promote the political agenda of the State for hundreds of years.
		There was a marvelous move to correct this at the Sobor of that Church held in 1917 but the Sobor was curtailed by the Bolshevik regime, which was certainly not in favour of anything that would make the Church more amenable or acceptable to the people.
		In 1921 at the all-Ukrainian Sobor in Kyiv it became clear that these needs could not be met in the existing situation in the normal way.
