Jack,

I just returned home from attending OL XII West and wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the experience.  Thank you for making this event possible and for believing that we can make a difference.  At the conference I learned a great deal and realized just how much we all have in common.  I hope to attend more Orientale Lumen Conferences in the future and will do my part to help promote its message at my local parish. 

Your Orthodox Brother in Christ,

David Solheim

— David, glad you could attend.  Jack.
