I am an episcopal groupie

I am a groupie. Yes, I admit it. I am a groupie. Yesterday some of my groupie fantasies were fulfilled. I was present at the ground breaking ceremony for a new building at Saint Katherine Greek Orthodox Church in Melbourne, Florida, USA. Present there was a man whom I highly admire, His Grace Demetrios, Bishop of Xanthus of the Greek Orthodox Church in the USA. Why do I say that I am his groupie?

https://ottawaphotographer.com/qg0xy7f Well, it was Bishop Demetrios who began the Orthodox Christian Mission Center in St. Augustine, Florida. As a person who was an overseas missionary and is now a domestic missionary, His Grace, Bishop Demetrios is my hero. Yes, I am a Bishop Demetrios groupie. So, this post has nothing theological in it, nothing orthopractical. It has only my deep appreciation for a man who had a dream that the Orthodox could return to their missionary history and reach out to those who needed to know God. Thanks be to God for Bishop Demetrios.
