In addition to the fact that three men were ordained during the same liturgy, can anyone explain why the gospel is not opened and placed face downwards on the candidates heads?
Please forgive me, but from what I know and from what I was taught, only one person can ordained to the diaconate,priesthood, or episcopacy, at a time at one liturgy.
Second they split the confession of faith between the three which is the worst part.
Indeed, all valid points with regard to the application of canon law. This is an exercise of economy. For whatever reason, strict adherence to the canon was not practiced.
Ikonomia is used is certain instances, and is understadable. But I dont see why they had to do it here. Was the archdiocese without hierarchy for something like this to happen?
All in all the should have had each elect to read the all 3 parts of the confession of faith, which is an oath at the same time. This may become a problem one day.
This is the consecration of 3 of the Antiochian Orthodox bishops in North America. (AOCA) The consecration was held in Damascus, Syria by the Patriarch of Antioch.

I'd just like to understand what you think is un-canonical about it.

@lepicane Economy is not another way of saying "we can do whatever we want".

This documentary evidence of the consecration as Bishops settles the matter once and for all.
