Quotes

• The insistence of the personal rather than territorial aspect of evangelization is essential for the very existence and flourishing of Oriental Churches. Accepting this reality we should allow all these Churches to grow hand in hand with mutual respect and collaboration so that the territorial demarcations do not suffocate the Christian message which these Churches are trying to communicate, each in its own way, naturally adding new dimensions to the cultural and ethnic diversity of Asia.
