Епископ Варнава (Настић) - Варнава (световно име Војислав Настић; Гери, Индијана, САД, 31. јануар 1914 — манастир Беочин, СФРЈ, 12. новембар 1964) је био епископ СПЦ.
У САД је живео до своје осме године када је, по завршетку другог разреда основне школе, заједно са родитељима дошао у Сарајево. Овде је наставио своје школовање и, са одличним успехом, завршио основну школу и гимназију са вишим течајним испитом, а потом је, заједно са оцем, отишао у Охрид код Владике Николаја (Велимировића) да затражи благослов за упис на Богословски факултет у Београду.
Отац Епископа Варнаве, Атанасије, по сведочењу Владике Николаја Велимировића, "активно је учествовао у српском верском покрету Богомољци и материјално подржавао путовања њихових проповедника." После краћег разговора и добијеног благослова, Атанасије је упознао владику Николаја и са синовљевом жељом да постане монах. Владика се овоме обрадовао, али му је, ипак, рекао "да за сада иде и студира, а да ће се он молити Господу да му испуни и другу жељу." Тако се Војислав уписао на Богословски факултет у Београду, са жељом да свој живот целокупном својом личношћу посвети Богу. Он је смерно носио свој крст петогодишњег робовања у комунистичким казаматима Сарајева, Стоца, Зенице и Сремске Митровице, а потом и још дванаест година у кућном притвору у манастирима: Ваведење, Гомионица, Крушедол и Беочин.

Zoran Mojsilov was born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia in 1955. As a small child, he carved his own toys out of scrap wood and was adept at drawing and painting. In early adolescence he began Greco-Roman wrestling and continued this practice into his mid-20’s.
He credits the discipline of training, an understanding of the skeletal muscular forms in the human body, and the spirit of competition in sports and life as primary factors for creating art today. Mojsilov left Belgrade in 1983 for Paris, France to test his artistic credibility. In 1984, he met Ilene Krug, an American Artist, at Association Confluences.
After two productive years there, they decided to move to Minneapolis in 1986. Once in Minneapolis, Mojsilov made large scale sculptures in wood using the assemblage process that he had started in Paris. His career developed steadily with recognition from local and national grants such as the McKnight Artist Fellowship in 1987, the Socrates Sculpture Park / Athena Foundation Award in 1988 and 1990, the Pollack-Krasner Foundation Artist Fellowship in 1990, the Minnesota State Arts Board Artist Assistance Fellowship in 1994, the Bush Foundation Artist Fellowship in 1996, and the Jerome Foundation, Travel and Study Grant in 1993 and 2001.

Father Emilian Glocar was born in 1906 in Lukavitce, Moravia, Czechoslovakia to his parents, Emile and Josepha.
Originally baptised in the Roman Catholic faith, after the death of his parents, he was converted to Holy Orthodoxy under Bishop Gorazd, Bishop of the Orthodox Diocese in Czechoslovakia. The conversion took place in the Vrdnik Monastery of Ravanica at the hands of Fr. Makarije Djordjevic.
After elementary school, Emilian became a student of the Serbian Orthodox Seminary in Sarajevo from 1923 to 1928. Having graduated from the Seminary, he undertook post-graduate theological studies at the University of Belgrade, from 1929 to 1934.
In 1930, Emilian married a Serbian girl, Bosiljka Parlaceva, in the Cathedral Church of Sremski Karlovci.
On March 16, 1930, he was ordained to the Holy Diaconate at the St. Nicholas Cathedral by Dr. Irinej (Djordjevic), the Vicar-bishop of Belgrade-Karlovci. On March 23,1930, he was ordained to the Holy Priesthood.
Fr. Emilian's first parish was in Vitojevci, a village in Srem, and later in Dalj, Vojvodina. While serving the Dalj parish, Father Emilian became very active in the "Religious Movement" — "Bogomoljacki Pokret" — as it was headed by Bishop Nicholai (Velimirovich). He worked very closely with Bishop Nicholai, wrote many important articles in "Svetosavlje," and was regarded as a dynamic preacher.
In 1939, Fr. Emilian was sent by the Serbian Orthodox Church to the United States. His first parish was in Cleveland, Ohio. In 1943, he was transfered to Akron, Ohio, where he served for the following 20 years. In 1956, Fr. Emilian was promoted to the rank of Archpriest by the then ruling Bishop. However, that same Bishop very unjustly suspended Fr. Emilian and deprived him of any parish in the Serbian Orthodox Church.
