Since the Holy Orthodox Church does not tell its faithful how to vote, I do not expect any of our Bishops at either convention, unless they will be giving Benedictions!!!

From the article:

Other faith leaders scheduled to speak include the Rev. Gabriel Salguero, the Florida-based pastor who founded the National Latino Evangelical Coalition; Jerry Young of the Mississippi-based New Hope Baptist Church; Archbishop Elpidophoros, leader of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America; and Rabbi Lauren Berkun, vice president of the Shalom Hartman Institute of North America.

.....Archbishop Elpidophoros, leader of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America....

Archbishop Elpidophoros has been going too far lately, as if he were Archbishop Iakovos, or even Martin Luther King.

He is NEITHER of them!!!!

Perhaps he will—Lord willing—surprise us, and just deliver a benediction! Then the Republican convention will need an Orthodox benediction as well!!

It seems that Archbishop Elpidophoros will just deliver a benediction. Hopefully relatively harmless!

Maybe he—or another Orthodox heirarch—can do the same at the Republican convention!
