I am disappointed that Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew did not say anything about establishing a united American Orthodox Church in his address to the American Orthodox Archbishops at a SCOBA meeting this week.
This being the case, the American Orthodox Archbishops need to meet themselves and draft a constitution for American Orthodox unity.
Americans have waited long enough -- too long, in fact -- to establish a united American Orthodox Church, because the Patriarch of Constantinople and the motherland Patriarchs do not want to relinquish their control over them; consequently, the only way to establish a united American Orthodox Church is to break away from the Patriarch of Constantinople and the motherland patriarchs, in order to establish a united Orthodox Church.
Moreover, Christ did not want His Church to be subdivided into numerous ethnic branches, but He wanted one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.
