Proistamenos: His Eminence Metropolitan Alexios

 
CHILDREN OF GOD
Fr. Steve Dalber, ST. NEKTARIOS, Charlotte, NC

As human beings we also have two natures. One is of this world and the other is not of this world. One ceases to exist with our ...Read Full Text >

FROM THE CHANCELLOR`S DESK - REMEMBERING OUR FATHER'S WILL
When we read the account of creation in Genesis, we find that at the end of each day God looked over His work and "saw that it was good." (1:10, 12, 18, 21, 25)
There was one exception; after God created man He declared, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper as his ...Read Full Text >

THE DYNAMICS OF BEING A FATHER
Seventeen years ago, on Sunday, June 16, 1996, through the Grace of God, I was ordained a Priest by His Grace Bishop Iacavos of Catania at Saints Constantine & Helen Church in
Fayetteville, NC. This unforgettable day was also Father’s Day for Dads across the US.

As both a Pastor serving parish families, as well as a father to my own children, I have witnessed time and again the importance of fathers and the influence they exert in the lives of their children.
