“The preservation of our Orthodox faith is a responsibility that each of us carries. We must carefully nurture and cherish our faith, just as those did before us, and we need to inspire those will come after us to do the same. Our Ecumenical Patriarchate represents the center of the Orthodox world and the beginning of Christendom. We have a remarkable gift in our Orthodox faith, and the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew Foundation deserves our support so that we can protect its rightful place in history and defend its religious freedom.”
