Metropolitan John (Wendland)
This is a letter to His Holiness Patriarch Alexei (Simansky) of Moscow and All Russia from Metropolitan John (Vendland) of New York and the Aleutian Islands, who was leading the American Exarchate of the Moscow Patriarchate at that time.
The Samaritan Woman received the living water of Christ: She came to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior. She herself became a fountain of living water, according to the word of Christ, because she preached the Lord to her fellow citizens, and they came to Christ and believed in Him (Jn. 4:29-30, 39-42).
