Oh oh, I just saw this on a Greek site...it seems there may be trouble looming, according to the full article, because of the 60 minutes interview. Please pray for the Ecumenical Patriarch's safety...I will translate to the best of my ability...



Επιστολές προς την αμερικανική ηγεσία έστειλε ο Αρχιεπίσκοπος Αμερικής Δημήτριος, με τις οποίες καλεί τον πρόεδρο Μπαράκ Ομπάμα, τον αντιπρόεδρο Τζο Μπάιντεν και την υπουργό Εξωτερικών Χίλαρι Κλίντον να συμβάλλουν για την προστασία του Οικουμενικού Πατριάρχη Βαρθολομαίου.

Συγκεκριμένα, ο Αρχιεπίσκοπος Δημήτριος, στις επιστολές του, που επίσης απέστειλε στην πρόεδρο της Βουλής Νάνσι Πελόσι και τον επικεφαλής της Δημοκρατικής πλειοψηφίας στη Γερουσία Χάρι Ριντ, εκφράζει την ανησυχία του για την ασφάλεια του Οικουμενικού Πατριάρχη Βαρθολομαίου.


Archbishop Demetrios of America has sent letters to the American leadership in which he asks President Barack Obama, Vice President Joseph Biden and Secretary of State Hilary Clinton to contribute to the protection of the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew.

Archbishop Demetrios, in particular, in his letters, which he also sent to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and the head of the Democratic party in the Senate, Harry Rint(sp?), expressed his uneasiness for the safety of the Ecumenical Patriarch.

Can't we create a site in which we can send a pre composed letter to our representatives?
Does anyone have the computer skills to do this?
Then we can send it to everyone in our address book to petition the US goverment and the EU to bring pressure upon the Turkish government to assure the protections and tights of the Greek Church.

Well, buy me a domain name and I'll do it all. With the wonders of Joomla, we can do anything. Its God's gift to technology. Trust me.

Ancient Faith Radio on Dec 29, 2009 "Shepherd of Souls" Fr. Peter interviews Fr. Hans Jacobse, President of the American Orthodox Institute, about the role of the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Eastern Orthodox Christianity [ancientfaith.com].

They use the 60 Minutes interview as their jumping off point for a larger discussion.
