Christ is Risen! Truly, He is Risen!

I greet you all in the joy of our Lord, God, and Savior: Jesus Christ. 

With the Paschal season here for the next 37 days, I wanted to take a survey of interest regarding steps toward reunion between the EO and OO.  Of course, great steps have been taken already by our God-fearing and God-protected hierarchs, and may God grant them many, many years.  To start, it would be great to have a collection of lay people--and clergy are certainly invited as well--to begin gathering together and praying the Agpeya (The Hours) and supporting our hierarchs together.  Meeting together not just on virtual forums and blogs, but also in our local cities by visiting each others' parishes (while attending your own for the Divine Liturgies, as this we must retain and be consistent in out of obedience to Christ through our Bishops) and even meeting together in public domains and eventually in each others' homes.  EO and OO faithful gathering together and celebrating Christ's Holy Resurrection and praying for His Holy Church.  To do this, go to this forum page: http://tasbeha.org/content/community/index.php/topic,11327.0.html.  I hope and pray we can work on this together to support our Bishops during this time, all to the glory of Christ our God, to whom is due all honour, praise, and worship, with His Father who is without beginning, and His All-Holy, Good, and Life-Giving Spirit, always, now and ever, and unto ages of ages.  Amen.
