On July 4, Elpidophoros Calls for Freedom Through Discipleship
NEW YORK — On July 4th, Archbishop Elpidophoros of America shared a profound message on social media:
On our Nation’s Birthday, when the entire world and our Country yearn for truth and peace—the firm and unyielding hallmarks of a genuine life in Christ—let us commit to truly being Christ’s followers. The Lord understands our need for freedom and knowledge, but He bestows them upon us in proportion to the measure of our faithfulness and the good deeds that we perform as His servants. Let us, therefore, strive to be honest disciples of His Divine Word, so that we may “know the truth” (John 8:32) and be truly free!
Elpidophoros has served as Archbishop of America for the Greek Archdiocese since 22 June 2019.
On May 15, he was appointed to the Advisory Board of Religious Leaders for President Trump's new Religious Liberty Commission. The Commission.
