"Hristos a Inviat!"
Aprilie 2010

Cu aceste rinduri vrem sa va aducem multumirea si recunostinta noastra pentru cei opt ani si jumatate de gazduire in frumoasa Biserica de pe Bulevardul Hollywood.

In acesti ani ne-am cunoscut mai bine ca oameni, crestini si ca biserica, desi facem parte din culturi si traditii crestine diferite.

Apropierea si respectul ne-au facut sa intelegem cit de aproape suntem unii fata de altii ca facem parte din aceiasi mare Biserica a Mantuitorului Hristos si ca iubirea lui Hristos "nu cauta ale sale, nu se intarata, nu tine minte raul, nu se bucura de nedreptate ci se bucura de adevar" (1 Corinteni 13, 1-13).

Dorind sa ramanem in aceiasi comuniune de prietenie si in aceleasi legaturi ale dragostei lui Hristos.

Cu imbratisare frateasca,

"Christ is Risen"
April 2010

With these few words, we would like to bring you many thanks and our appreciation for the eight and a half years of welcoming us into your beautiful church on Hollywood Boulevard.

Throughout these years, we have gotten to know each other as Christian people and churches. Even though we belong to differend cultures and Christian traditions, our closeness and respect for one another has made us understand how close we really are; and that ultimately we belong to the same great churt of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and that His love: (I Corinthians 13; 1-13) "It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoice in the truth."

We wish to remain a close Christian community in friendship, with the same strong bonds of what is right.

Yours in Christ,
Father Archimandrite
