Archepiscopal Farewell Message to the Participants of the 47th Biennial Clergy-Laity Congress
07/06/2024
In the aftermath of our gathering as the Ecclesia of God, allow me to share some thoughts with you as a coda to our gathering, we came together from every corner of our Church in America, from the Metropolises and Parishes, from the Monasteries, from the nationwide Philoptochos Chapters, from the Young Adult League chapters from coast to coast, from our Archdiocesan Institutions, and from our fellow Orthodox Churches and Ecumenical partners.
We came together to remind ourselves that in Christ, We Are One.
