"We have concluded that when the principle of racial division (i.e. phyletism) is juxtaposed with the teaching of the Gospel and the constant practice of the Church, it is not only foreign to it, but also completely opposed, to it. We decree the following in the Holy Spirit: 1. We reject and condemn racial division, that is, racial differences, national quarrels and disagreements in the Church of Christ, as being contrary to the teaching of the Gospel and the holy canons of our blessed fathers, on which the holy Church is established and which adorn human society and lead it to Divine piety. 2. In accordance with the holy canons, we proclaim that those who accept such division according to races and who dare to base on it hitherto unheard-of racial assemblies are foreign to the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church and are real schismatics."

    UPDATE:
    Greetings in the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit!

    September is almost here. In many place school is starting soon. Usually you would have received a few emails from asking for your attention to the needs of orphans, abortion survivors, poor children, and other poor in Romania.

    Florin and Andrea our assistants and family in Romania are due to deliver their child in December.

    We have decided to make a December visit for the Saint Philothea Project. Please consider preparing a gift boxes for a poor or neglected child. The Post office has made our job a bit easier. They have a flat rate box. It is good size for Christmas gifts. Saint Philothea Project's goal of 500 boxes filled with Christmas gifts for boys or girls from newborn to 14 years. Each box will be given to one child.

    What should You put in the Box?
    Children in Romania are smaller than in America so only the small and medium sizes are needed.
    Underwear/socks
    Toothbrush and toothpaste
    Comb/brush for hair
    Soap/Shampoo
    A small Icon will be nice
    A Non-Battery toy or two good for the age of the child
    OTC Cold medicine for children - poor children suffer colds and flu with no relief
    Some candy
    Anything you would like to put in the box to make it a personal gift from your hand to the hand of a poor orthodox child.

    Saint Philothea Project needs the boxes before December 15 to insure hand delivery before Christmas
    Please pray and consider what you and your parish friends can do for your souls and the comfort of the poor in the household of GOD.

    At Your Service
