		It is, therefore, obvious that the re-establishment of the old canonical order in the Estonian Orthodox Church, in the manner it was agreed upon by the Patriarchal and Synodical Tomos, constituted the answer of our Holy Mother Church to the general demand of all Estonians and Russians in free Estonia.
		We believe that our dear brother, His Beatitude Patriarch Alexius II of Moscow comprehends this problem and that he will soon sacrifice his own personal ties with Estonia for the general benefit of her Orthodoxy.
		Then, after the disagreement is peacefully transcended, we are confident that the Orthodox in Estonia, both Estonian and Russian, with joy and in one heart welcome His Beatitude, as often as he visits his birthplace, his parents' graves, the beloved places to whom he offered his service as a priest and a bishop.
