hmTv at HMTC Podcasts Ep 129: Many Voices One Community with Gaitley Mathews-Stevenson and guest Father Panteleimon Papadopoulos on hmTv
In this uplifting installment of Many Voices One Community, host Gaitley Stevenson-Mathews sits down with Father Panteleimon “Father P.” Papadopoulos of the Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Resurrection in Glen Cove. Together, they explore how a simple Greek festival—complete with gyros, baklava, and old-world hospitality—has become a vibrant gathering point that unites neighbors of all backgrounds.
Father P. recounts his journey from a childhood calling in Connecticut to nineteen years as deacon to the Archbishop of America, meeting world leaders and traveling to historic centers of faith. Drawing on inspiring stories of courage—from Holocaust rescuers in Athens and Zakynthos to interfaith upstanders—he reveals how the belief that every person is made in the image of God compels us to treat each other with kindness, dignity, and shared purpose.
Tune in to discover how watering the “grass” of community compassion can help us all grow—and why, in an age of division, our faiths and cultures offer a powerful blueprint for unity.
