Dear
Reader:
The Vine & Crossroads
Newsletter is a new endeavor which will be sent out through e-mail for those who we
hope will be receptive to our endeavors to bring you information &
news concerning not only our Orthodox Catholic Christian Faith,
but concerning all that may have to do with your Religious, Civil
and Legal Rights to worship and daily practice your faith.
Some who may be affected by what is
happening in the USA, North, and South America as well as around
the world are more than just faithful parishioners of this
Jurisdiction (as we are scattered), but clergy from all walks of
life and churches
too! This is for them as well, even if they are not part of our
Jurisdiction or even our faith!
We feel that when informed, you can make
better decisions toward maintaining your rights of religious
bearing as well as, hopefully, your civil rights too. Yet,
depending on the country in which you reside, even if it be a State
or Province of that country; you may find you will eventually be
limited from worshiping and speaking about your faith!
So, this struggle that we present as our
first newsletter is one out of pain of heart for the faith once
and for all delivered by Jesus Christ, the Holy Apostles and
Patristic Fathers.
Inasmuch as the American Orthodox Church and
the North American Orthodox Church is one Jurisdiction of World
Wide Orthodoxy; we believe
that since our dioceses and parishes are scattered; you need to
know what is going on.
Our Vladyka +Thaddeus (Metropolitan
Archbishop) has granted us permission to provide this endeavor for
you to review and comment on with hopes that you will join with us
in providing current information and news...
Volunteers Sought - - -

when writers submit them. Volunteer editors evaluate, edit, clean up and accept

YOU are
the most valuable and important aspect of this newsletter. We may need to
redesign the newsletter as we explore how we can present our viewers, faithful
parishioners, and clergy with the information and news so necessary to stay
up-to-date.
Included
in our newsletters will include information taken from our Western
Orthodox Theological Institute (WOTI) and other areas to aide and reaffirm your
spiritual and material understandings.
Life
itself is a religious experience whether or not you go to church on
Sunday or stay at home... even if you do not believe in the root, ground and
base of all things CHRISTIAN (follower of Jesus Christ) which is established in
Orthodox Catholic Christianity itself ... you may find article and information
important or interesting to your areas of life and living.
Religious
News, Environmental News (about the earth and saving our planet's resources),
Electronic, digital or computer news pertaining to those who want to know
what to do to keep their computer bug free and spam free.
Those are just some of the areas we will cover... But that doesn't end there...
There's more to come! So, subscribe! And offer an electronic copy to
your friends by forwarding them a copy too...
