A Gift from God: His Eminence Geron Archbishop Demetrios

His Eminence Geron Archbishop Demetrios of America shares four of the many reasons why the forthcoming Holy and Great Council, meeting in Crete in late June 2016, is truly a gift from God.

The Holy and Great Council gathers in Crete in the latter part of June 2016. It is the first time in 1200 years that 14 autocephalous Orthodox churches are meeting. Approximately 500 individuals will be part of this historic gathering, with a common desire to reinforce their relations and address contemporary spiritual and social challenges in the world.
