Many of the Greek Orthodox Faithful in America have received a blatantly false email regarding solicitation of funds which purports to be from His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and Father Alexander Karloutsos. That email is a cruel hoax and should be disregarded. It is a shame that at the end of a joyous Christmas season, someone would attempt to stain and demean the Mother Church with such a repulsive communication. The Order of St. Andrew will attempt to identify the person or persons responsible for this act and take all necessary legal action to make sure such fraudulent activity ceases and does not occur again. If you have information relating to the identity(ies) of the responsible party(ies), please email Archons@goarch.org or call 212-570-3550.

Thank you for your assistance.

Wishing you a blessed and peaceful New Year,

Anthony J. Limberakis, M.D.
