”We denounce modernism and secularism in the Church and call upon our faithful to heed the words of the ever-memorable Metropolitan Philaret (Voznesensky) – “Hold fast what you have.” Many Orthodox in America are looking to the Russian Church for an example of steadfastness and loyalty to the traditions of Orthodoxy. We are committed to preserving that which has been handed down to us by our pious ancestors, and we call upon the faithful to increase their support of the Church, so that our mission will not be hindered.” – Metropolitan Hilarion of the Russion Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, October 12, 2012 @ the Joint Pastoral Conference of the Eastern American Diocese and Moscow Patriarchate
