Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

Thank you so much for posting the announcement of His Eminence's visit. We at SPU are very grateful that he has agreed to our invitation to deliver the 2008 Palmer Lectures, and we are deeply appreciative of the cooperation we have received from the Orthodox communities in Seattle, Irvine, Sacramento, and Houston, who are co-sponsoring his extended trip to the USA.

Warm regards,
