NEW YORK - Archbishop Spyridon met with John Cardinal OConnor of New York today at the Cardinals residence where the two church leaders discussed several issues of common interest.

Among other issues, they also discussed about the depth of cooperation achieved between Roman Catholics and Orthodox at the holy sites in Jerusalem, and the status of the current religious situation in Russia.
Cardinal OConnor expressed support for Archbishop Spyridons new ministry in the United States and both hierarchs noted that they hoped to strengthen their personal relationship and that of their Churches to create a positive effect among their respective communities.
