Sixteen clergy from various places throughout the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America completed training on September 10-12, 2019 for expanding the ministry to support our clergy. The Archdiocesan Center for Family Care recently received a generous grant from Leadership 100 to train facilitators to lead clergy peer learning groups throughout the country.  Photo: www.goarch.org The focus of these groups, which meet quarterly, is as follows:
The three-day training was led by Rev. Dr. Alexander Goussetis, who serves as the Director of the Center for Family Care, and Dr. Al Rossi, Director of Psychological & Counseling Services at St Vladimir’s Seminary. Topics included: How to Establish a Group, The Mind of the Facilitator, Managing Group Dynamics, and a session featuring practical “hands-on” exercises. Fr. Goussetis commented on the maturity and commitment of the facilitators, noting, “These brother clergy work on the frontlines of ministry. I am confident that these newly trained priests will be able to offer care, support, and mutual accountability to our co-workers in the vineyard.” Clergy Peer Learning Groups are a voluntary program and will be made available to those who wish to participate. These groups will be of particular benefit to priests at every level of pastoral experience: pre-ordained, newly ordained, seasoned, and retired clergy.

In a letter to Bartholomew I of Constantinople, Pope Francis has explained the unexpected gifting of a relic of St. Peter to the leader of the Eastern Orthodox Church in June, a gesture which generated controversy among some Catholics.  Pope Francis greets Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople outside the Basilica of St. Nicholas in Bari, Italy, July 7, 2018. In what Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople described as a "brave and bold" gesture, Pope Francis gave the patriarch a famous reliquary containing bone fragments believed to belong to St. Peter.
