Holy Metropolis GOC Releases Site Redesign

The Holy Metropolis GOC of America is pleased to release its redesigned site. The template was completely redesigned and the database was moved to a better and more high-powered server. In addition, we are scanning through all of the articles that had suffered character corruption (the presence of squares and question marks, especially in the Greek articles) during a previous database restoration, in order to correct them.

The sermons will be restored in the coming days, and the Photo gallery is being completely redone. We did not, however, wish to delay the release of the site further, so please pardon the inconvenience.

Could you give me your personal, realistic assessment of this dynamic and possibly refer me to an official statement on how GOC members should and do relate to and communicate with those in “World Orthodoxy”?
