"We have concluded that when the principle of phyletism (i.e. ecclesiastical nationalism) 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."

Dear Al, Hermie, Dean:
Christ is Risen!
I have great news- Yesterday, May 2, I was blessed to join with his Grace, Bishop Joseph, Fr. Gregory Horton and the faithful of the Holy Myrrh-Bearers Orthodox Mission community in Bonners ferry, ID for the dedication of their new church property. There has never been any Orthodox presence in this Northern-most part of Idaho until now. I can't speak for the rest of the world but exciting things are happening in the Great Northwest and we would love to have you come a be a part of it. p.s. We had Greek, OCA and Antoichian clergy present for this historic event!! If there are any hard working priests out there who have a vision for planting missions (you have to work on the side)- we have about five spots in mind where the work has already begun.
