Archbishop Elpidophoros of America publicly desecrates cross 

It has been two weeks since Turkish immigrant and first without equals wannabe, Archbishop Elpidophoros of America, Greek Orthodox Archdiocese, flung a handful of horse manure in the face of the Most-Pure Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary on the eve of the feast of her Annunciation.

Words fail us.

Ioannis Lambriniadis (aka “Archbishop” Elpidophoros of America [Greek Orthodox Archdiocese]) to Donald Trump on Greek Independence Day (aka “the Annunciation”):

Katherine Kelaidis’ head-scratcher, Xenophobia in the Cloak of Progress: How English Liturgies Hurt the American Orthodox Church, appeared on Public Orthodoxy on March 12.

I write as one who, as both layman and priest, has spent most of my long Orthodox life in parishes that worshipped exclusively or primarily in the English language, but who also has extensive experience attending parishes that worship in Slavonic, Ukrainian, and Greek.
