                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 19, 2025

  Mr. DUNN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to welcome his All-
Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew to the United States this 
week. My colleagues and I are honored to host him here in the House of 
Representatives and I know my Greek-Orthodox constituents are excited 
to have him visit our Nation's Capital. His All-Holiness is a champion 
of religious liberty, engaging in dialogues with leaders of Judaism, 
Christianity, and Islam. Moreover, he leads a congregation of 300 
million church members worldwide and is the longest-serving Patriarch 
in the two-millennia history of the Church. We are blessed to have him 
here in Washington, D.C. this week.
