Unhappily I want to put it on record that another of the brethren, an old friend and excellent Byzantine cantor, has decided to depart from Aghía Triás, as have many others whom I have not noticed in this blog. He still isn't sure where he will try to find a new spiritual home. His faith is intact, but the ravages of the hireling have gotten the best of him. I sympathise.
These are things that go unnoticed by church hierarchs as they progress in honor and splendor from parish to parish on their rounds. When we have a true shepherd who takes as his model the Good Shepherd, the flock prospers, from bishop to presbyters to people, and the vineyard flourishes. God grant us patience and strength as we wait for better times. Pray for Aghía Triás and her faithful people.
