First sentence: This Ecumenical Throne of Orthodoxy-as protector and proclaimer of the centuries-long spirit of the patristic tradition and as faithful interpreter of the eucharistic and liturgical experience of the Orthodox Church - watches with great anxiety the merciless trampling and destruction of the natural environment caused by human beings, with extremely dangerous consequences for the very survival of the natural world created by God.
