Changes

I made a couple of changes. First, and correct me if I am wrong, I took out that he was a member of the synod in that only bishops are members of synods. Second, I changed "canonized" to "glorified" to conform to normal Orthodox usage. I also cleaned up the reference to the Russian Church. --Fr Lev 21:53, February 1, 2006 (CST)
