I am so very privileged to represent the Mother Church of Constantinople this evening, and to accept, on behalf of His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, the distinguished Gennadius Prize, the famed Library’s most prestigious accolade. It is particularly significant, as we are honored to have among us the venerable presence of His Eminence, Elder Metropolitan Apostolos of Derkoi, a most senior Hierarch of the Patriarchate, and someone well-known to the Gennadius and indeed, most institutions of higher learning in Greece.
