“You are the heart of the Church scattered throughout the world, like the seed of the Gospel carried to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8)

“You, young Orthodox Christians scattered throughout the world, have a particular calling: to be bridges, not walls.

“You, the young Orthodox Christians of the diaspora, are living proof that it is possible to live in a different context, in another country, with another language and another rhythm of life, and yet have the same faith, the same Liturgy and the same hope.
