Yesterday, Oct. 22, His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America welcomed Stefanos Kasselakis, leader of the “Movement for Democracy,” at the headquarters of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. It was his third visit to the Archdiocese, following two previous visits during his tenure as Greece’s Leader of the Opposition. Kasselakis, “a child of the Greek diaspora who honors his heritage and a statesman who respects the role of the Church, is always warmly welcomed at the Archdiocese’s headquarters,” His Eminence reiterated.
