Who are the members of the “Executive Committee”?
According to the Assembly’s website, the “officers” of the Assembly are:
Archbishop Demetrios of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese, Chairman;
Metropolitan Joseph of the Antiochian Archdiocese, First Vice-Chairman;
Bishop Basil of the Antiochian Archdiocese, Secretary; and
Metropolitan Antony of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA, Treasurer.
Does anyone know if these four constitute the entire “Executive Committee”? If not, who are the other members?
