Dear Brother Archons and Friends of the Archons of the Ecumenical Patriarchate,

In this remarkable half-hour video, Father Alex and his beloved Presbytera Xanthi discuss, with manifest love and exemplary candor, their decades of service to Almighty God and His people. Father Alex epitomizes servant leadership and humility, and this video, which provides numerous insights into the true depth of his devotion and diakonia.

It was with ample good reason that His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew recently named Father Alex the Grand Protopresbyter of the Ecumenical Throne; like the Ecumenical Patriarch himself, Father Alex’s lengthy ministry has been a gift to the Church and to the world. This video gives you insight into why he has been such a valuable asset to His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros, as well as to the Archons of the Ecumenical Patriarchate.

Yours in the service of our Holy Mother Church,
