God Calls His Son From Beth-Nahrain Into An Anointing By Name: "Petros Ashor"

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, UNITED STATES, June 23, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Sunday, June 20, 2021 marked both, the celebration of the Holy Feast of Pentecost, according to the Orthodox Julian calendar, and father's day, where at St. George Ancient Church of the East in the valley of the sun, the formerly known Qasha (Reverend) Shamlee Tamras from the state of California was ordained Episcopa (Bishop) of the Western Diocese of the Ancient Church of the East in United States of America.

The ordination of a bishop which is always performed on a Sunday or a Holy Day in churches that follow the doctrine of an unbroken line of apostolic succession dating back to the apostles is called a consecration, where the bishop who is consecrating a new bishop is known as the consecrator.

By the power of the Holy Spirit, the consecrators of who came to be called Mar Petros Ashor Tamras were Mar Addai II, Catholicos-Patriarch of the Ancient Church of the East (Baghdad, Iraq), Mar Yaqo Daniel, Metropolitan of the Ancient Church of the East (Australia and New Zealand), Mar Gewargis Younan, Episcopa of the Eastern Diocese of the Ancient Church of the East (United States of America), Reverend Benyamin Shlemon, Archdeacon of St. George Ancient Church of the East (Phoenix), Reverend Athanasis Toma Chor-Episcopa of Mar Shaleeta Ancient Church of the East (Los Angeles), Reverend Odisho Behaydo, Priest of Mart Mariam Ancient Church of the East (Modesto), deacons and readers.

It is believed that the angels in heaven are nine ranks; therefore, the priesthood within the Church of the East is also nine ranks, emulating the seen to the unseen, the earthly to the heavenly: Reader, Sub-Deacon, Deacon, Priest, Cor-Episcopa (Cor-Bishop), Archdeacon, Episcopa (Bishop), Metropolitan and Patriarch.

Mar Petros Ashor (born Shamlee Tamras), who was first elevated to the ranks of Cor-Episcopa and Archdeacon last Friday will be seated at Mart Mariam Ancient Church of the East in Modesto, following his consecration to his Episcopal seat on Friday, June 25, 2021.

Therefore, "Verily I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." (Matthew 18:18 KJV)
