Metropolitan Demetrius Presides at Holy Thursday Matins in Greece

Details
Created on Friday, 26 April 2019 16:19

His Eminence was invited to preside at the Church of The Holy Trinity, at Rodopoli, Attika, by the local Hierarch, Metropolitan Chrysostomos, for the Matins service of Holy Thursday.

This was an honor for our Metropolitan because this is the Church that Fr John Floros served for many years. Fr John was the holy priest who served the famous vigil service of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in 1925 on Mount Hymettos, where the cross appeared in the sky above the Church of St John the Theologian, in the presence of 2000 people.

Ask A Priest

Is the GOC Insular?

Q. In considering becoming part of the GOC in America, I am getting warnings from various circles that the attitude of GOC people is that of being “walled off,” “arrogant,” “judgmental,” and “in your face” toward those not in the Genuine Orthodox Church, with accusations such as “World Orthodox” priests are “not even Christians” and the like. Could you give me your personal, realistic assessment of this dynamic and possibly refer me to an official statement on how GOC members should and do relate to and communicate with those in “World Orthodoxy”?
