Archbishop Elpidophoros in his remarks said, among other things: “You never say ‘no’. You always say ‘yes.’ Your goodness and generosity shine through like the translucence of the Shrine (of St. Nicholas) that will last for the centuries to come.”
In another instance he said, “the other aspect of the next century is our definition of inclusivity. We must find a way to make it possible for as many people who wish to participate in this historic work of the Order to be able to do so. We have discussed this before, and we will continue that conversation, as we seek new paths to a fuller inclusion of all Members of the Body of Christ.”
The Archbishop honored the National Commander of the Order of St. Andrew, Dr. Anthony Limberakis, Gus Caras, and James Pantelides.
