The Road to Unity
From Vision to Action: Orthodox Christianity in America
DATE: October 29-31, 2009
LOCATION: Antiochian Village, Ligonier, PA
American Orthodox Christianity is already unified in doctrine and fellowship but we are not unified as jurisdictions. Orthodox Christianity can flourish in America and our Orthodox faith can give much to our nation in return. The timining of the OCL Fall Meeting is between the pre-conciliar meetings taking place in Europe. The June Meeting established a process for unity in America. The Patriarchs bless the establishment of Episcopal Assemblies to begin to define a structure of a unified self governed church. Clergy and Laity are urgent to participate and provided input. Let us reason together at the OCL Fall Meeting to promote unity in America.
The Road to Unity is blessed by Met. Philip, Met. Jonah, and Met. Christopher. Keynote will be delivered by Met. Jonah. Other hierarchs attending include Abp. Nathaniel of Detroit and Bp. Thomas of Charleston, and the list is growing.
