Holy Cross Connection, #10: Metropolitan Nathanael of Chicago- Called to Serve

This week, we are pleased to bring you a new episode of Holy Cross Connections with His Grace, Bishop Anthony Vrame. 

Join Bishop Anthony for an edifying conversation with His Eminence Metropolitan Nathanael of the Metropolis of Chicago to discuss Called to Serve: Journeys to Ordained Ministry. This book is a unique collection of testimonies, as told by the faithful clergy of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Chicago of the Archdiocese of America. His Eminence, Metropolitan Nathanael, opens the book with his own introduction and story of his journey to ordained ministry. “It is my fervent hope and prayer that this initiative not only strengthens the bonds among the clergy,” he wrote, “but also inspires vulnerability, trust, and a renewed sense of purpose." Listen to today’s episode for a unique chance to hear more from His Eminence on the initiative and intention behind Call to Serve and the need for more conversations between clergy and laity.
