  1. the cited spellings of names and seemingly curious new titles of our melkite bishops may mislead readers;

    please understand that it would probably be beneficial to us and others to leave these types of announcements to our eparchial communications office

    thank you; God Bless!

  2. I'd tell the "Holy Land Catholic Communications Centre." It is a direct cut and paste of their news story found here:

    They have the benefit of "pushing" news via RSS and updating their news section frequently. Antioch (and Newton for that matter) is a tad slower at publishing updates in English and there is no newsletter to subscribe to.
