As you know so well, our Patriarchate is not a 'national' church, but rather the fundamental canonical expression of the ecumenical dimensions of the Gospel message, and of its analogous responsibility within the life of the Church.
Som De udmærket ved, er vores patriarkat ikke nogen "national" kirke, men snarere det fundamentale kanoniske udtryk for de økumeniske dimensioner i evangeliets budskab og for patriarkatets tilsvarende ansvarsopgave inden for det kirkelige liv.
