It is with great joy that I announce that the Western Rite Orthodox
Church and the Nazaraean Orthodox Church have entered into full
communion. On December 1, 2005 (Kislev 12, 1975) this concord was
officially enacted between the two Jurisdictions and a new era for both
Communities has begun.
It is the dream of both Churches that we become the example of
Messiah's dream, that we might become One even as He and the Father are
One. Unity in Essentials, Liberty in Non-essentials, and Love in all
things.
It is appropriate that this next year is a Sabbatical Jubilee Year
according to the Nazaraean Calendar. So beginning next year, Nisan 1,
1976 (March 22, 2006), we in the Nazaraean Orthodox Church will be
experiencing a year of resting from our prior labors and enjoying the
liberating restoration which has transpired since Heshvan 6, 1975
(November 15, 2005).

My Blessings and Greetings go out to:

H.B. Metropolitan-Archbishop +Paul Robert-Sales of Los Angeles,
California,
H.G. Auxilliary Bishop Coadjutor +Athanasius-Francis duBois, of
Ranchos de Taos, New Mexico, and to all the fellow clergy and laity of
the Western Rite Orthodox Church.

Merry Christmas and Happy New year!
