If you don't mind me asking, how is it that this island [ I like the name ! ] was selected for the new mission ? Were residents interested and contacted you ?
That's correct Barbara. A local resident left the world Orthodox Greeks and sought to establish a mission. Because our synod's focus in North America is missionary, he ended up referred to me and we went from there.
