Thank you for arranging this luncheon and for our time together here today. These moments, when I have the opportunity to exchange ideas and dialogue with Parish leadership, are very precious to me. I am usually asked a lot of questions, but somehow – I would say by God’s grace – I come away with much more than I give. And it’s because you, the dedicated laywomen and laymen of the Church, inspire your clergy – whether the local priest or the Archbishop – by your love of Christ and His Holy Orthodox Church.
