		Regardless of the Orthodox Church's rejection of the ordination of women, the ecumenical repercussions will be tragic and could be summarized thus; "The ordination of women to the priesthood is tantamount for us to a radical and irreparable mutilation of the entire faith, the rejection of the whole Scripture, and, the end of all dialogues."
