“We will be American Middle East Christians together or we will not exist”

“Our Middle Eastern Christians Heritage is distinguished by its antiquity, its patrimonies, the variety of its liturgical expressions, the authenticity of its spiritualities, and the breadth of its theological horizons.”

And the forces of its centuries-old existence which has sometimes reached the heroism of martyrs. All this represents a living experience which we bear in our hearts, a powerful stimulus for our hope and a source of confidence and perseverance from which we draw in looking to the future.

Diversity is an essential characteristic of our heritage. This diversity has always been a source of richness for our heritage when we have experienced in it the unity of faith and charity. Unfortunately, this diversity has been changed into divergences and separation in the past. Nevertheless, what unites us is even stronger and more important than what divides us. It does not prevent us from meeting each other and helping one another. The Christianity of the East, in spite of its divisions represents a fundamental unity in faith, which nothing can break. We are Christians together, in good times and in bad. Our vocation is one, our witness is one, and our destiny is one as well. We are thus required to work together in the different ways available and, in a spirit of fraternity and love. We must do this in the various areas where we are compelled by the common good of Christians, as well as by the aspirations of all the believers of our various heritages, who put great hope in our rapprochement and our mutual assistance.
