This would take a lot of thought and prayer. Personally, I’m skeptical. Changing the rules for Easter to a somewhat arbitrary date is too much like saying the historical date does not matter.

If we want to unify, I’d rather agree to unify by holding Easter on the day after the Jews recognize Passover. At least that has a clear, accurate, and unambiguous connection to scripture. That is the date on which the events occurred.

The date for Easter (Holy Pascha) is fixed by church canons. It would require an Ecumenical Synod to change that.

Of course it’s purely coincidental, but the first Ecumenical Synod in almost seven hundred years is scheduled to convene in 2016.

I would like all the Apostolic churches to be able to be more united. Just tell me which day is Easter and I’ll be there.
