Bishop Gerasimos’ Words to the Orthodox Institute Northern California
We are thrilled to have the continuing support of the hierarchs of Northern California for the continuing education we offer in the form of mini Orthodox Institutes. The three hierarchs, Bishop Joseph, Bishop Benjamin, and Metropolitan Gerasimos have encouraged training on a pan-Orthodox level, and are fully supportive of the ministry of Orthodox Christian Education. Their words lift us up, and we are honored to join them in the common goal of passing on the faith. Here is the letter read at the September event in San Francisco.
