“Sometimes, during my hours of solitude, like most of you, I think about
the future of this beloved Archdiocese. I know and you know that all of
us are mortal beings. The question is: “What about the future?”
I appeal to you, my beloved children and friends, not to let any group
of people, or any group of bishops or any Synod, local or foreign,
divide you and destroy what we have built for the past forty-one years.
This Archdiocese must remain a beacon of light and a good example to be
emulated by all Orthodox in North America. We have enough Orthodox
fragmentations and we do not need any more. “



— Metropolitan Philip, 2007 Convention Speech.
