Archons of Ecumenical Patriarchate target state legislatures

Archon News:

U.S. State Legislatures continue to pass Religious Freedom resolutions for the Ecumenical Patriarchate

New York, NY
4/17/2008

In 2006, the National Council of the Order of St. Andrew initiated the Religious Freedom Resolutions project. The goal of this project, which represents one component of the overall, multi-faceted Religious Freedom Initiative, is the adoption of religious freedom resolutions in support of the Ecumenical Patriarchate in every state legislature. The Ecumenical Patriarchate's existence is currently threatened by the persecutory policies of the government of Turkey, which if continues threatens the survival of this nearly 2000 year old institution founded by the First Called Apostle of Christ, Andrew, the brother of Peter.

To date, 16 such resolutions have been adopted by 13 states and 7 states are reviewing the resolution in the State Senate and/or House of Representatives. Mississippi, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Kentucky, and West Virginia are the most recent states to adopt these resolutions.


States highlighted in LIGHT BLUE indicate that the resolution has been introduced. States highlighted in GOLD indicate final adoption and no further action is necessary. States highlighted in DARK BLUE indicate no resolution has been introduced at this time.
