Abstract

N. Glubokovsky, On the Canonical Significance of the Right of Stau-ropegia. A Response to a Study by the Bishop of Znepol Paisius, Stauropegia in the Church from the Canonical Poiont of View, and in Particular the Status of the Church „St. Alexander Nevsky“ in Sofia, 1924 . The article was written in response to a study by the Bishop of Znepol, who later became the Metropolitan of Vratsa, concerning stauropegia in the Orthodox Church, particularly the status of the cathedral "St. Alexander Nevsky" in Sofia. Essentially, these two articles lead to a debate on two differing views regarding the ecclesiastical concept of stauropegia.
