In this post, you will find email links to the Archbishop of Canada, the Patriarch of Constantinople, and to the Canadian officials who could be responsible for the liturgical changes in Canada. We simply do not yet know the truth. It is essential to contact these officials, to get the answers we need and to defend the Orthodox Faith in Canada. Scroll down for all three sets of suggested letters. It takes only a few minutes. May God bless you.
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
In his encyclical, Archbishop Sotirios says “the Government made me do it.”
Let’s find out. We need to take Christ’s stance. We need to act now!
Whoever did it, you can take action against the multiple communion spoons by sending Archbishop Sotirios this message:

Copy and paste this in the body of your message:
Your Eminence Archbishop Sotirios, your blessing,
DID YOU SUGGEST AND/OR MANDATE MULTIPLE SPOONS AS THE MODE OF DISTRIBUTION FOR HOLY COMMUNION in Ontario, Canada?
The Greek Orthoodox Church of Canada has gone against his All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew’s clear instructions to NOT change the traditional mode of distribution of Holy Communion “handed down by the Holy Fathers” from one lavida to many spoons.
I live in Canada and only accept the traditional mode of distribution of Holy Communion “handed down by the Holy Fathers” of only one common lavida .
By your prayers, respectfully,
