Archbishop George Niederauer has posted on the SF Archdiocese site the first of several short articles about a recent "ecumenical pilgrimage to Rome, Athens and Constantinople (Istanbul), Nov.21-Dec. 2" he took part in.
I knew that His Eminence Metropolitan Nikitas had just been in Constantinople because I'd been over at his home base the Patriarch Athenagoras Orthodox Institute in Berkeley one night while he was gone, but I had no idea it was part of a trip of Orthodox and Catholics, including two of our Latins (archbishop and auxiliary bishop) from SF. His Eminence Metropolitan Gerasimos of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of San Francisco was also part of the group.

As Russians who are under Latin bishops, Archbishop George is our bishop for Our Lady of Fatima Byzantine Catholic Church. This trip is definitely of interest to us. Met. Gerasimos has been present at the ordinations of the last two auxiliary bishops of the SF Archdiocese I was graced to attend.

The two posts Archbishop George has written thus far can be found here under Catholics, Orthodox Christians join in East-West pilgrimage December 8th, 2010 and Journey of Faith: East and West: Working toward unity of faith and worship is the goal, pilgrims learn December 15th, 2010

Off topic, but this reminded me of this about Met. Nikitas which I'm not sure I saw posted anywhere here...
