AD21 is hopeful that its wishes will happen to be true in October. Today AD21 learnt that the much awaited statement about the current crises of our church is released by 'The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church - North America Sunday Schools Union.' We are happy to see that. As the union announced, it will hold its Annual Meeting from September 4-6, 2009 in Seattle. We have two calls here:
1. to re discuss the crises and come up with a stronger statement claiming the change we badly need in a louder way. This is what the union promised to do - 'to preserve the rules, order and faith of our Church and committed to the future by doing as our fathers did for us with full responsibility.' There should not be other agenda to be discussed at this critical time of our Church.
2. the Union has invited all Sunday Schools in NA to attend its Annual Meeting - all Sunday Schools are invited. So, we call upon all Sunday Schools in the states to send their representatives that the Youth - the Future of the Church - can discuss the complicated problems we are languishing and come with a strong resolutions as a body of the one church which should carry the burden of the tomorrow's church.
Bottom Line: AD21 received a couple of emails which answered our yesterday's call to collect the resolutions coming out from different bodies of the church and send them home. We have learnt that there are individuals who are accomplishing this important duty in one or the other way. We appreciate that. But the effort should not be limited to some individuals. We all have the responsibility to publicise the resolutions and make sure that the statements are reaching to the fathers. Please let us move forward before that week come.

GOOD JOB BRO.
Thank you Azekiri for the useful insight. Today I downloaded, attached and sent to the Archbishop of the diocese I came from through a friend. I called the friend and made sure that the email reached him. He promised me to print and give the Archbishop tomorrow. I also asked email addresses of friends who live in other dioceses. Thank you again.
