WOW, Paul I did not know this!
That's way kool!
I would really like to hear this whole story.
Wasn't the Church of the East in Seattle, WA. the same sort of situation?
I remember reading that Mar Eshai Shimun did a kind of "outreach" to Americans that were interested in becoming members of the Assyrian Church of the East.
If I remember right, there were three churches around the USA that responded to this "outreach" (my word).
I would REALLY love to hear some more of this story!

Paul Younan Wrote:St. John, the Church where I serve, used to be a Protestant church that approached the CoE to become united with it (about 15 years ago). When the clergy were sent over, we found the church loaded with Lamsa bibles all over the pews. One of the first acts was to get rid of them all.
The CoE considers both Lamsa and Errico heretics.
