The undersigned Greek Orthodox Americans hereby declare an unwavering and unconditional commitment to our faith and to its self-governing independence in our beloved American homeland.

We declare our right to self-governance to be the same with all other self-governing Orthodox churches worldwide, including Greece and Cyprus, who themselves are self-governing and canonical. We will remain apostolic and canonical, but within the framework of self-governance. We will not surrender governing independence, which is rightfully ours as a nation, even according to Church tradition.

Further, we pledge our commitment, time, resources, and reputations to achieve unconditional self-governance and self-determination, free of secular and foreign interference and free of the foreign church corruption that has prevailed for decades. We will not yield to fraud, waste, abuse, corrupt leadership, and above all, the sinfulness of those who have plundered the Church for personal and political gain, including foreign policy intrigue.

The choice we have to make is simple: Stay under a Patriarchate subjected to tyrannical Turkish rule or demand a self-governing Independent Church in America NOW!!
