Παπικοί και "Ορθόδοξοι" Έλληνες μαζί στην εορτή Πέτρου και Παύλου...

NEEDHAM -- As Cardinal Seán P. O'Malley and Greek Orthodox Metropolitan Methodios brought their communities together in an annual ecumenical celebration of vespers at St. Joseph Parish in Needham on the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul, June 28, they called not just for unity within Christianity, but unity in going out to face the challenges in the modern world.

"It is important that in these last few decades, that we have rediscovered that we are brothers and sisters in the Lord," the cardinal said, during the service.(= είναι σημαντικό ότι σε αυτές τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες ξανα-ανακαλύψαμε ότι είμαστε αδελφοί και αδελφές εν Κυρίω, είπε ο καρδινάλιος κατά την διάρκεια της ακολουθίας).

The two men, who led a group of Boston Catholics and Orthodox to Rome and Constantinople on pilgrimage in 2007, spoke at the prayer service as they continued a long-standing tradition of outreach between their communities.

"The measuring stick of our unity is the unity that exists in the Trinity," the cardinal said.

Each addressed the need for churches to stand united in defense of Christian values.
