by His Eminence Archbishop Gregorios of Thyateira & Great Britain

"I know your works - your love, faith, service, and patient endurance.

I know that your last works are greater than the first......

Only hold fast to what you have until I come" [Rev.2, 19 & 25 ]

    These words, recorded in the Book of Revelation, were addressed to the angel (or bishop) of the Church of Thyateira by Christ, the "Son of God" [Rev 2, 18]. Thyateira was one of the Seven Churches in western Asia Minor to which messages were addressed, but the city in which this Church was to be found was probably the least significant.
