Archpriest Michael, We like the members of SEC come from the exact same heritage and lineage. After viewing the wesite for SEC, and after prayer I believe the Holy Ghost is urging us to seek membership in SEC. The website proclaims He is Christ, Son of the Living God! Truly you have followed God's mandate to give Him All the Glory now and ever unto the ages of ages! Thank you and Sincerely, +Paul Lee Bear (Rondomanski), Archimandrite/ Bishop of The Community of The Philanthropic Love of Christ, and Administrator of Bethany House Ministries, Norwich, Ct., www.oratoryofdivinemercy.CatholicWeb.com

Respecting Your Reverence, Greetings in the most Holy and precious name of our Saviour, JESUS. It is so wonderful to see the WEB page of Orthodox Church of America where there are married Episcopas. I am a married Priest from the Malankara Orthodox Church in India now became the Suffragan Bishop of KG Diocese of the India Christian Mission Church ( 1897 ) which became an Episcopal Church just before my consecration on 12 th february,2005 through the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches, USA. Can I join the Synod ? Kindly enlighten me. + Bishop JOHN SD Raju at bishopjohnsdr@rediffmail.com

"Our fellowship does not accept women into the priesthood but recognizes the restored Order of Deaconess. We hold that Sacred Marriage is ONLY between a man and a woman, and DO NOT recognize so-called same sex unions. We believe that the persistent practice of homosexuality is a grave sin before the eyes of God." Most excellently worded. This is exactly our position (and that of any sane Orthodox Christian) too!

My fraternal greetings! I am Rev. Deacon Ferdi Manguerra, CSC. I am amember of the Congregation of Saint charles of Brazil under our Bishop-Primate Dom Joseph Verzosa Galaroza. I am very happy to know the developments experienced by the SEC. Here in the Philippines, we are struggling to serve the unserved Filipinos, especially the poor, deprived, and oppressed, for we only have meager financial resources. But with the grace, goodness and mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the guidance of the Theotokos, we continue to be inspired with the events and developments experienced by the SEC, thus continuing our ministry and service for our brethren. More power and may the Lord bless and keep you always!

Manila, Philippines - 03/30/04 at 05:32:35 (EST)

I heard about your jurisdiction through Mar Melchiedek and having glanced through your site I feel a certain warmth that must be because I feel I meet family. We in the AOCCE (Apostolic Orthodox Catholic Church in Europe), share your lines of apostolic sucession and our faith. Yet as Europeans, we feel we should not join episcopal bodies outside our own part of the world, mostly for practical reasons. But this does not mean that we do not recognize the canonical communion that exists ipso facto between and among all true orthodox, even though some may deny this at their own risk and responsibility. Kind regards and God Bless, Mar Nicholas
