Blessings

We are grateful for the blessings we have received to date by our Hierarchs. His Eminence Archbishop Nathaniel, head of the Romanian Orthodox Episcopate of America (OCA), writes among other things:

Thank you for the invitation to be one of the hierarchs who bestows a blessing on the Orthodox Witness. I accept with sincere recognition that this is the work of the Church… I am humbled by the great goals you have set and moved deeply by the Lord's own movement of those who love Him and His beautiful Bride. I am pleased to do whatever is of use to the fulfillment of the goals of the organization which is, in fact, the fulfillment of the Great Command of our Lord and God and Savior, Jesus Christ, to whom be all honor and glory.

We have also received the blessings of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese in a letter written on behalf of Archbishop Demetrios by His Grace Bishop Dimitrios of Xanthos, which states in part:

Many thanks to you and your colleagues in Orthodox Witness for seeking to implement at the local level the thoughts and desires expressed by the SCOBA hierarchs in their Millennium Pastoral Letter. Such efforts are essential for the growth of our Holy Church in this land.
