    ISTANBUL (ANA A. Kourkoulas) The leaders of all Orthodox Churches held a liturgy service in the ruins of the Agia Sofia temple, officiated by the Ecumenical Orthodox Patriarch Vartholomeos on Tuesday at Nice, Turkey, celebrating the closing of the second millenium since the birth of Christ.

    In a joint declaration, signed during their third meeting in Istanbul and read at the end of the liturgy, the leaders called for unity of all Christian Churches as well as unity of all people quoting the New Testament verse ?there is no man or woman, no Jew or Gentile, no lord or slave?.

    In the same message, read from the temple - turned to museum - where the first and seventh Ecumenical Synods of Christianity took place, they condemned nationalist tendencies that have plagued the Orthodox Churches from time to time.
