First and foremost, I want to greet you with a spirit of gratitude for your presence in this Assembly of Bishops, and note – for the record – that we all miss our First Vice-Chairman, His Eminence Metropolitan Saba and we are praying for his good health. It was a last minute decision for him to take care of himself and I know that he wishes he were here. Our supplications and best wishes  go with him.
