"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."

Crossroad

Just want to share with you one of the bright spots available to our Orthodox Youth.
Crossroad is a program offered to High School juniors and seniors sponsored by the office of Vocation at Holy Cross Seminary in Brookline. This is a Pan-Orthodox program that is supported by Theologians from all jurisdictions. Our Parish has sent kids nearly every year since its inception. I can say as a parent this has been life changing. My son who is now a sophomore in college just returned from a reunion in Utah with his Crossroad class. Imagine 12 college kids traveling from all over the country for fellowship and worship. My daughter's class, which was the first Crossroad session has seen 5 young people enter the seminary.
It is truly a blessing in our young people's lives.
Listen to Father Hopko's Crossroad interview on AFR!!
