In his endeavours to relate to members of other religions, some Orthodox felt that Archbishop Iakovos went entirely too far, that he violated the [[canons]] and betrayed the faith by praying with [[heresy|heretics]]. Perhaps one of the more famous instances of an Orthodox hierarch rebuking Archbishop Iakovos was Metropolitan [[Philaret (Voznesensky) of New York|Philaret]] ([[ROCOR]]) writing an [http://www.orthodoxinfo.com/ecumenism/philaret_iakovos.aspx open letter] in 1969 on the occasion of Iakovos's participation at St. Patrick's Cathedral in the "Week of Prayer for Christian Unity" and the [http://www.orthodoxinfo.com/ecumenism/doxology.pdf "Ecumenical Doxology"] in the Greek Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in New York City. In this letter, Philaret says: "You are uniting with the heterodox not in truth but in indifference to it."
