"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."

Who is the mughnoon who started this petition?
I don't see any name on it! Why are they anonymous?
And why would they link it to that Antiochian.com site started by the juhushes?
That group of fools have no credibility. I could not believe the idiocy of the story when they wrote Metropolitan Philip acted like Trump and fired our chancellors. I am telling you, they can not get anything right. Listen to what I am saying, what is with a site which must constantly retract their stories!
If I were a khoury or khouria I would not sign this petition.
Until we have our diocesan bishops once again, keep your heads down!
