Separate meetings of the families discussed the issues from the perspective of<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">each family followed by a series of plenary sessions, addressing: the stance of each<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">Church on the Agreed Statements; how to implement them, how to proceed, and how<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">to deal together with contemporary challenges, including social and ethical issues,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">facing the Orthodox.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">Furthermore, with one voice and in faithfulness to our shared theological, biblical and<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">patristic tradition, all members raised the issue of the crisis surrounding family matters<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">and anthropological challenges present in today&#8217;s secular society. They expressed the<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">wish, that all Christians may become ambassadors (cf. II Cor 5:20) of Christ\u2019s message<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">to the modern society, in order to transfigure the world with the light of truth and<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">wisdom.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">Our Church Families view the indissoluble and loving union between a man and a<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">woman in holy matrimony as a &#8220;great mystery&#8221; (Eph 5:32), reflecting the relationship<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">between Christ and the Church, in contrast to certain contemporary approaches to<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">marriage. From this union arises the family, which is seen as the sole foundation for the<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">birth and upbringing of children according to the divine plan. Our Churches, therefore,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">consider the family a &#8220;small Church&#8221; and provide it with appropriate pastoral care and<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">support.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">Our Churches categorically reject the justification of same-sex relations within what is<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">called \u201cabsolute human freedom\u201d which causes harm to humanity. Our Churches, while<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">affirming their complete belief in human rights and freedom, also confirm that the<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">freedom of the created is not absolute to the point of transgressing and breaking the<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">commandments of the Creator.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">The participants unanimously agreed that: i) the two Joint Sub-Committees on liturgical<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">and pastoral issues continue their work; ii) the two co-chairmen of the Commission visit<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">the Primates of the Orthodox Churches and Oriental Orthodox Churches in order to<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">communicate the positive outcome of the dialogue and to receive their feedback<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">regarding the signed Agreed Statements and Proposals; iii) a joint website to be created,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">containing all the necessary documents of the previous bilateral dialogue at the disposal<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">of the new members of the Joint Commission to be appointed by their Churches, to<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">facilitate the decision making process; iv) the two Orthodox families involve all levels<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">of the clergy, monastics and lay people in the implementation of the dialogue.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">3<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">As 2025 marks the 1700th anniversary of the first ecumenical council of Nicaea, and<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">Christians around the world will celebrate Pascha at the same date, the representatives<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">of the two families expressed their wish that all Christians in the whole world celebrate<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">Pascha following the canonical tradition of Nicaea and the Orthodox Paschalion.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">During the last session all participants expressed their sincere gratitude to our Risen<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">Lord, Jesus Christ, for granting them the gift of being together after a period of internal<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">reflection and growing interest on the Dialogue and its fruits in all levels of their local<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">Churches.
