His Eminence Metropolitan Laurus Sends a Congratulatory Letter to the Newly-Elected Patriarch Theophilus III of Jerusalem

His Beatitude
The Most Blessed THEOPHILUS
Newly-Elected Patriarch of the
Holy City of Jerusalem and All Palestine

Your Beatitude,
Most Blessed Vladyko!

Please accept our heartfelt congratulations to Your Beatitude on your election to the Patriarchal Throne of the Mother of Churches, the Jerusalem Patriarchate! We prayerfully wish you good health, strength of spirit and the omnipotent assistance of God in Your First-Hierarchal service and in the overcoming all difficulties and temptations which have recently beset the Church of Jerusalem.

Beseeching your holy prayers at the Life-bearing Sepulcher of the Lord for my own unworthiness, for the bishops, clergy and flock of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia,

With fraternal love in the Lord,

+Metropolitan Laurus

First Hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia

I am wondering what the Georgian church's reaction will be since it disagreed with the eviction of Ireneos...

Everything has solution in the "World Orhodoxy"

Also sent their congratulations to the new Patriarch of Jerusalem, the Archbishop of Athens, Christodoulos; the President of Greece and other officials.

Yes, indeed, just as there is a solution in Traditionalist Orthodoxy, don't you think? I wonder what you have done, if you were there handling such situations as the Jerusalem Patriarchate went through, Father Silouan.

Yes, indeed very true, but also the Antiochian Patriarchate defended former-Patriarch and monk Irenaeus. Very odd though. But everyone is entitled to their opinions, Antioch's and Georgia's Patriarchs decided Irenaeus was innocent. But, I don't see why would it be a problem, now that they have a new elected first Hierarch of Jerusalem, Theophilus.
God grant him many years!

Well, I don't have so many valuable properties to rent them to who doesn't correspond. Neither I serve to the powerful ones of this world, I only try to serve to the Truth...

And of course, all the problems have "solution" in the "World Orthodoxia" but not in the way that it would but because they respond to mundane interest.
