Patriarch John X of Antioch conveyed the Antiochian Church’s deep pride in its faithful across North America and the global diaspora.
The Patriarch made these remarks during a reception at the patriarchal residence in Balamand, where he warmly welcomed Metropolitan Saba (Esber) of New York and All North America.
In the meeting, Patriarch John X highlighted the strong spiritual bond and enduring connection that unites the Antiochian faithful worldwide, regardless of distance or challenges faced.
Metropolitan Saba, in turn, stressed the vital importance of embodying and preserving the sense of belonging to the Antiochian Church. He acknowledged that despite geographic separation and difficult circumstances, the faithful remain firmly rooted in their spiritual heritage and committed to their ecclesiastical identity.
