SS: And the highlight?

            +C:  I  think  the  final  liturgy  in  Chania  Cathedral  when  the  Ecumenical
            Observers were invited to be present – on the front row before the Iconastasis.
            In the diptychs as I have noted al the Orthodox Churches were prayed  for by
            name  of  their  head,  including  Russia,  Georgia,  Bulgaria  and  Antioch.  That
            spirit  of  intra-Orthodox  ecumenism  came  from  the  Ecumenical  Patriarch
            himself. His spirit imbued the Council, for which all the ‘ecumenical’ churches
            are profoundly grateful, not least this Anglican bishop representing the wider
            Orthodox,  Anglican  and  Protestant churches in  the Conference of  European
            Churches.
