Go in Peace Good Shepherd...

Metropolitan Thomas Mar Makarios, the Bishop who ordained me 19 years ago to serve on the altar, passed away yesterday. May he rest with Christ and be at peace. (image courtesy of www.stgeorgeorthodox.co.uk)

He was charming, witty, with a sharp sense of humor. He was an ambassador of our Faith to people of all creeds. He was a family friend who would come visit our little community in Florida as often as he possibly could. He worked tirelessly as a steward of the Indian Orthodox Church. His tremendous presence will be missed. -Steve K.
