A poster released by the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America reveals new details of His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew's visit to the US.It will occur from 7-17 May 2020.He will visit the following cities:Boston,Massachusetts;Southampton,New York;New York City;Washington,DC;Weirton,West Virginia;and South Bend,Indiana.
Relevant churches in some of the smaller cities include All Saints Greek Orthodox Church in Weirton,West Virginia;Kimisis tis Theotokou Greek Orthodox Church in Southampton,New York;and St.Andrew's Greek Orthodox Church in South Bend,Indiana.
It will be the Patriarch's first visit to the US in ten years.A personal meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House is also expected.*
Analysis:It is notable that the Patriarch is visiting some less well-known places,along with the inevitable stops of New York City and Washington,DC.This underscores the purely pastoral dimension of the trip,alongside the appropriate pedagogical and political dimensions.
