Great and Holy Council declares unity of the Orthodox Church

“Our Church, responding to its obligation to testify the true and apostolic faith, attaches great importance to dialogue mainly with heterodox Christians. In this way, the rest of the Christendom understands accurately the authenticity of the Orthodox tradition, the value of patristic teaching, the experience of the mass and the faith of the Orthodox,” the message says.
The Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew made the same call for unity in a speech at the Agios Apostolos and Pavlos Church earlier in Chania. “The Great and Holy Council showed that the one holy catholic and apostolic church united in faith in the world, embodies and expresses authentically the central ecclesiological authority and truth of conciliarity; that it lives as a council.”
