	The Church of Alexandria
		The Church of Alexandria, founded according to the constant tradition of both East and West by St. Mark the Evangelist, was the centre from which Christianity spread throughout all Egypt, the nucleus of the powerful Patriarchate of Alexandria.
		After the death of the Patriarch Peter (654) the Melchite succession was broken for nearly 80 years, a fact that contributed much to the complete Jacobite control of the patriarchate.
		Their patriarch, a mere shadow of what he once was, resides at Stamboul, and glories in the title of ""Patriarch of Alexandria and Ecumenical Judge"".

	Patriarch and Patriarchate
		On the other hand, the existence of several Catholic patriarchs of the same see, for instance, the Melchite, Jacobite, Maronite, and Latin titulars of Antioch, is a concession to the national feeling of Eastern Christians, or, in the case of the Latin, a relic of the crusades that archæologically can hardly be justified.
		Peter the Great did not allow a successor to be elected and in 1721 replaced the patriarchate by the Holy Directing Synod that now rules the Russian Church.
		The pope as Patriarch of the West (this is the commonest form; "Patriarch of Rome", or "Latin Patriarch" also occur) rules all Western Europe from Poland to Illyricum (the Balkan Peninsula), Africa west of Egypt, all other lands (America, Australia) colonized from these lands and all Western (Latin) missionaries and dwellers in the East.

		The Revelation of Peter affords the earliest embodiment in Christian literature of those pictorial presentations of heaven and hell which have exercised so widespread and enduring an influence.

		The bishops of the patriarchate of Antioch for the most part recognized St. Meletius and his successor St. Flavian as rightful patriarchs, while Rome and Alexandria (that is, St. Athanasius and his successors) thought that their rival Paulinus had the better title.

	The Case Is Not Closed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		As Your Eminence knows, the Orthodox Christian Laity (OCL), with whom you recently met in New York City, is a lay and clergy movement founded in 1987 to promote spiritual renewal and for the purpose of restoring the traditional role of the laity in the life of the Church in partnership (syndiakonia), with the clergy.
		In short, OCL seeks the re-establishment of the “Royal Priesthood” of the laity (I Peter 2:9), which has been eroded through the years by the imposition of the monarchical Roman Catholic model of centralized authority on the Archdiocese by some of your predecessors.
		Similarly, it was once again manifested by the unilateral elevation of five American bishops to the rank of metropolitan by the Ecumenical Patriarchate, thus further eroding the unity of the truncated Archdiocese, again in violation of the existing charter.

		Orthodoxy also implies a strong attachment to the sacraments,* the most important being the sacraments of initiation: baptism* (by immersion), chrismation* and the eucharist* (communion in both kinds), to which the newly baptized member is immediately admitted, whatever his or her age.
		When he was able to send a new bishop to New York a few years later, the latter found that in the meantime all the mother churches of the Orthodox world had claimed their nationals and created their own jurisdictions.
		Witness the encyclical* letter of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople in 1920 to “all the churches of Christ” for “closer intercourse and mutual cooperation”.
