The Orthodox Ohrid Archbishopric (Serbian, (マケドニア語:Православна Охридска Архиепископија), ''Pravoslavna Ohridska Arhiepiskopija'') is an autonomous Eastern Orthodox archdiocese in the Republic of Macedonia. It is the only canonical Orthodox Church in the Republic of Macedonia and is in full communion with all other Orthodox Churches. The Orthodox Ohrid Archbishopric has been refused registration by the Macedonian State Religion Commission on the grounds that one group may be registered for each confession and that the name was not sufficiently distinct from that of the Macedonian Orthodox Church (MOC).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=US State Dept. Report on Religious Freedom in Macedonia, 2006 )〕 MOC is recognized by the State Religion Commission but not by any other Orthodox churches, which consider its unilateral 1967 declaration of autocephaly a breach of canon law. The Archbishopric claims inheritance from the ''Ohrid Archbishopric of Justiniana prima and all Bulgaria'' (), founded in 1019, by Basil II.〔Orthodox Ohrid Archbishopric, Archbishop of Ohrid and Metropolitan of Skopje Jovan, (Brief History of the Ohrid Archbishopric ), 31 December 2006〕 ==Autonomy== In attempt to restore its canonical status and gain recognition from the Orthodox churches, the Macedonian Orthodox Church negotiated with the Serbian Orthodox Church, and these negotiations led to an eventual agreement signed in Niš in June 2002, thus known as ''the Niš Agreement''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Full text of the Nis Agreement )〕 The agreement was signed by all bishops of both delegations. However, the bishops of the delegations of the Macedonian Orthodox Church were exposed to severe criticism for signing this agreement, and although they attempted to defend it for a short time, the Synod of the MOC rejected the agreement. The Patriarch of Peć then summoned all bishops, clergy, monastics and faithful people to enter in liturgical and canonical unity with the Serbian Orthodox Church. Jovan Vraniskovski, Metropolitan of Veles and Povardarie, and all priests of Veles agreed to respond to this call, and all signed a document of agreement.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The agreement with the signatures of the priests from the Metropolis of Veles for entrance into liturgical and canonical unity with the Serbian orthodox church )〕 On 23 September 2002, Metr. Jovan was appointed Exarch of all the territories of the Ohrid Archdiocese by the Assembly of the Serbian Orthodox Church. On 25 December 2003, he was elected Chairman of the Holy Synod of Bishops of the Orthodox Ohrid Archbishopric, after it had been constituted.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The decision for constitution of the Synod (in Macedonian) )〕 On 24 May 2005, he was confirmed by Patriarch of Peć as ''Archbishop of Ohrid and Metropolitan of Skopje'' in accordance with the Niš Agreement. On the same day, there was an announcement of the Patriarchal and the Assembly's Tomos for Autonomy of the Ohrid Archbishopric,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The tomos for autonomy )〕 with Archbishop Jovan as the Chairman of the Holy Synod of Bishops. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Orthodox Ohrid Archbishopric」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
