The Holy Synod of the Jerusalem Church has elected Archbishop Theophilos to be the 97th Patriarch of the Holy City.

Many years to His Beatitude.

Dear Anton,

The coat of arms of Ontario has the Cross of the Patriarchate of Jerusalem at the top of the shield . . .

Just so you know . . .

Really? Hmmm....how come? And don't tell me some long reposed ancestor of yours was responsible for that! :p

P.S. Apparently the vote was unanimous: 14-0 (with 3 absentees)

Dear Anton,

It's also the "Cross of St George" and the flag of England as you know!

Other provinces have it too.

Ontario was "Upper Canada" and received many Loyalists following the American temper tantrum . . . I mean "Revolution!" smile
