Beloved Clergy of the Diocese of Toledo and the Midwest,
Christ is in our midst!
Today our hearts are left heavy by the scenes we have witnessed on the streets of Boston. It is a stark reminder that we in America are not immune from the violence that we see in Syria, north Africa, and so many locations around the world. Our hearts and prayers go out to all those who suffer on this day and every day.
Today I contacted His Grace Bishop JOHN of the Diocese of Worcester and New England to share with him my personal condolences and the prayers and concerns of the entire Diocese of Toledo and the Midwest.
Please remember to keep those affected by the tragedy in Boston and all the victims of violence around the world in your prayers.
May God bless your journey to His glorious Resurrection!
+Bp. ANTHONY
Bishop of Toledo and the Midwest
Auxiliary Bishop, Self-Ruled Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America
