The Lancovian Orthodox Church has stood for over 1000 years as the prime spiritual guide for the Lancovian people, and many other nations as well. The Church, by the grace of God, is seeking to enter Full Communion (OOC: joint recognition of each other's authority and independence) with other Eastern Orthodox churches so that all of Eastern Orthodoxy may work toward greater unity through cooperation and dialogue, without following one sole and absolute leader.
Also, the Church wishes to find it's wayward flock in the Lancovian diaspora spread throughout the world. Too long have many followers of Lancovian Orthodoxy been without the guidance of their church, though until recently Church governance has been stubbornly unwilling to extend it's mission into other nations. As the new Patriarch, I wish to correct that by sending sending clergy, and by building churches, schools and maybe even hospitals. Therefore, we wish to know how many citizens of the world identify themselves as Lancovian Orthodox, so we may set up the necessary parishes, with permission of course. All costs will be paid for by the Lancovian Orthodox Church, though we would like to hire local labor for the construction itself. Clergy shall be trained in Lancov, unless we are given permission to open a seminary within your nation.
Donations are also acceptable, but are never solicited from governmental organizations. The Church believes strongly that Church and State should operate independently of one another, within reason.
May God continue to bless your nation and people.
His Beatitude Mattimeo II Patriarch of Ramonosd and All Lancovs
