Community Council Obligations
The role of the Church Community Council is to preserve Apostolic Tradition and educate on the Church’s place in Greek Orthodoxy. Members are entrusted to support the Priest and ensure the continuation of the Faith. Though finances and administration are important, Councils must connect the temporal and spiritual through humility and patience.
