Here is an excerpt:
Guided by the ecumenical movement and bolstered by the foundation of nonpartisan societies dedicated to the study of Carpatho- Rusyn genealogy, history, literature and religion, relations among Rusyn-Americans of all faiths press forward. On the occasion of the centennial anniversary of the first printing of the prostopinije (late June 2006), the apostolic administrator of the Greek Catholic Eparchy of Mukačevo, Bishop Milan Sasik, invited all eparchies rooted in the Church of Mukačevo, Catholic and Orthodox, to a conference in Užhorod.
“Our liturgical plainchant tradition identifies us, unites us and distinguishes us as one church in the Byzantine tradition,” he said. “The testimony of this common usage is an important reason to celebrate together.”
There is reason to celebrate: Last August, on the feast of the Dormition of Mary, Metropolitan Nicholas proclaimed that the second Sunday after each Pentecost “shall be celebrated as the Synaxis [assembly] of the Carpatho-Rusyn Saints.” The ruling hierarch of the American Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Church included two 20th-century Greek Catholic martyrs in the list of saints, Blesseds Pavel Gojdic and Teodor Romzha, recognizing them for their “holiness, witness and supreme sacrifice for the Christian faith and for the Rusyn people.”
