This past week, from October 6–9, 221 clergy from across the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America gathered in Naples, Florida, for the Bi-Annual Archdiocesan Presbyters Council (APC) National Clergy Retreat. The theme of this year’s retreat, “Honoring the Sacred Trust,” was thoughtfully explored by our distinguished guest speakers: His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America and the Rev. Dr. John Behr, Regius Chair in Humanity and Head of the Department of Divinity at King’s College, University of Aberdeen.
The purpose of the National Clergy Retreat is to provide an opportunity for renewal and spiritual refreshment, while strengthening the bonds of brotherhood and shared vision among the clergy. Through prayer, fellowship, and reflection, participants return to their parishes rejuvenated and re-energized to continue their sacred ministry.
The National Clergy Retreat is subsidized through the generous support of Leadership 100.
