    Upon hearing news of the early-morning earthquake on February 6, 2023, the hearts of IOCC’s staff went out to all those affected. We then got in touch with partners in and around the affected regions.
    Our local partners in Syria have indicated that basic needs (like food, bedding, and clothing) are most pressing right now. As we assess needs of those displaced by the earthquake and identify the most appropriate and effective response, please join our efforts by:
    • Praying for all those affected in Syria and Turkey
    • Keeping up with IOCC’s response on our social media channels and in the “Latest” section of our website.
    • Supporting our International Emergency Response Fund, which allows IOCC to mobilize aid quickly and effectively on the ground.
    IOCC has released initial funds to care for survivors in the coming days and weeks. You can help meet these urgent needs with a gift to IOCC today.
    This is an evolving situation, and government recovery teams need space to save lives. IOCC will be working to responsibly meet the urgent unfilled needs of the people impacted. Please give now. Thank you.

    Declaration for Orthodox Unity – click here…

    A quote from a homily by St. Nikolai Velimirovich on Orthodoxy in America

    “The time may not be far off when there will be a united Orthodox Church in America, which will include all the present Eastern national Churches in this country, a Church with one central administrative authority. I see a tendency toward such an end in each of our now individual Churches. … And when by God’s Providence the time is ripe for the accomplishment of such a unity, I dare not doubt that the venerable heads of all our Orthodox Churches in Europe, Asia, and Africa, always led by the Holy Spirit, will give their blessing for the organization of a new and autonomous sister Church in America.”
