Many Years!
Thanks to Gloria of Society of Saint John Chrysostom [ssjc.org] for sending out the email about this article in the secular press today.

Quote
In a religious culture plagued by in-fighting and schism, Metropolitan Nicholas of the American Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Diocese of the U.S.A. has worked to heal rifts between Orthodox and Catholic Christians.

..."He has a passion for church unity," said the Rev. John Petro, rector of SS. Cyril & Methodius Byzantine Catholic Seminary, North Side. "It's not about giving academic lectures on ecumenism, but a living experience of coming together to pray and work on common projects."

P.S. I was thinking as I read this article how timely yesterday we just had the Sunday of the Prodigal Son, a time of considering how we are at times the younger/prodigal and the elder sons.
