I reallly got lost in those words I quoted above. Would you mind expanding on what you meant by them?

In the Middle East, especially in Turkey, there are ancient dioceses which are still listed "on the books" of the Churches of Constantinople, Antioch, Jerusalem or Alexandria where there isn't a single Christian living. There are still churches there, probably most of them ruins. The Patriarchial Churches for many years have been trying to have one Liturgy a year in those Churches. These dioceses are still recognized because it is the prayer of the Church that Christianity will return to those dioceses. Sorry for the confusion. What did you think I was saying?
