"The Preachers chiefly shall take heed that they teach nothing in their preaching, which they would have the people religiously to observe and believe, but that which is agreeable to the Doctrine of the Old Testament and the New, and that which the Catholick Fathers and Ancient Bishops have gathered out of that Doctrine." A proposed canon of Elizabeth I, 1571

Chrysostom and Gregory the Theologian heading home to Constantinople


Some very good news from Rome this last week--two of the "Three Holy Heirarchs" have been sent "home" to Constantinople. The Pope has returned the relics of SS John Chrysostom and Gregory of Nazianzus to Bartholomew I, the Patriarch of Constantinople, who made a special trip to the Vatican to celebrate the event (see photo above). The relics have been in Rome since the tragic sack of Constantinople by western knights in 1204. May God use this occassion to further the reunion of Christ's Church on earth. Posted by Hello
