If we can reach 500

So far the petition has received some 210 signatures from Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Russia, Serbia, the UK, and throughout the US. About one-third are from men. The petition will reach the council’s secretariat, but we’ve received reliable word that if we can get 500 signatures, it will be put in front of H.A.H. Patriarch Bartholomew himself. I know that many of you have shared the petition with others. Would you share it further? Consider sending it out to 10 people in the next day or so. We have a real chance of having this idea heard by the Ecumenical Patriarch, who is the convener of this and future pan-Orthodox councils.
