The Office of the Chancellor is concerned with the well-being of
the clergy, their ongoing assignments and reassignments, their continuing
education, and the benefits provided to them by the Church.
Clergy entering the Archdiocese through ordination by an Archdiocesan
hierarch or by incardination from other Orthodox jurisdictions receive
their first assignments through the Chancellor's Office. All assignments
within the Direct Archdiocesan District are at present arranged
through this office as well. The Chancellor's Office also helps
to coordinate the reassignment of clergy from one Metropolis to
another. The Chancellor is furthermore responsible for the implementation
of the Archdiocesan Clergy Sexual Misconduct Policy.
New parishes that are being formed within the Archdiocese receive
their canonical status through the Office of the Chancellor. Matters
pertaining to parish administration are also reviewed and addressed
by the Chancellor's Office. The Chancellor’s Office is also
responsible for maintaining an up-to-date database of clergy and
parishes throughout the Archdiocese.
The Chancellor's Office also coordinates and administers the Taylor
Scholarship Fund, which provides monetary grants to those pursuing
advanced degrees in theological studies, and the James J. Tembelis
Scholarship Fund, as well as the Gioles and Malta Scholarships.
