BOSTON – His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew despite, the intense schedule of the historic Apostolic Visit to the United States he has undertaken, finds time to read The National Herald. As the published photographs show, on Friday, October 29 His All Holiness, with His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America looking on, read with evident interest the Greek Edition of October 29, as well as the English Edition of The National Herald.

Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, due to his high position and office, knows better than anybody else the power and the dynamics of the written public word. It is the written word which records permanently the history, sequence, and importance of events since the printed words are permanent, as is indicated by the wise Latin expression ‘scripta manet’.
