It’s good that Bishop Elpidophoros himself went to the ambassador and told about the congress in Cleveland. I wonder what exactly they discussed next about “continuing efforts” - the text breaks off. It's a pity that you didn't write more.

It is good that Elpidophores went in person to the ambassador and told him about the council in Cleveland. I still remember when they sent us photos from Cleveland, it looked like there were really a lot of people. Too bad the text got cut off, I'm really interested to hear what they had to say about that "continued effort".

Yes, Gregory, it’s good that Elpidophoros went himself and didn’t just write off. It’s really a pity that they cut it short about “continuing efforts” - maybe they were talking about helping parishes or working with young people, as at the last convention in Boston. Have you been following the news from Cleveland yourself?

I agree, Dusan, it's good that he went personally. I also saw those pictures from Cleveland, there were really a lot of people in the hall. It's a pity that the text was cut, maybe they were talking about some cooperation with Greece, it would be interesting to hear.

Yes, I also found it interesting that he went in person, that always works better than texting. It was really crowded in Cleveland, I saw that even some from our parish went. It's a pity that the text was interrupted, I'm really curious if they mentioned any specific help for a church or a school in Greece.
