Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew

On November 18 we published a brief report, Trump Administration Invites Patriarch Bartholomew to Speak on…the Environment? Please take a few minutes to read it.

We especially draw your attention to the following:

We believe that His All-Holiness possesses the humility to listen and to learn from all of us. We also know that the Phanar follows Orthodoxy in Dialogue regularly.

What message, on any topic, would you like the Ecumenical Patriarch to convey to Donald Trump when they meet?

Send a one- or two-sentence reply to editors@orthodoxyindialogue.com with your name and country of residence. Maintain the respectful tone due to His All-Holiness by virtue of his position as our Church’s primus inter pares. After we have received several responses, we will publish them in an open letter to the Patriarch, to be updated as we continue to receive them.

We have received a few responses to date and are hoping for many more. Together and with God’s help, maybe we can make a difference.

You need not be Orthodox or American to participate.
