Have you read the “The Orthodox Way”? I recall there being a passage in there about Alexandria being second after Rome until it was changed at a Council, if I remember right, this article is incorrect in saying that Constantinople was second after Rome. Just curious if I remember it right.
Also, I do find this article very hopeful, based on some of the comments below, we are fortunate we don’t have any of the representatives from this meeting on this forum as the discussion quickly turned to negativities rather than the focus of the article which is entirely positive.
