My Beloved Ones,
This coming Sunday we are blessed to observe what our Archdiocese has called National Leadership 100 Sunday. Many might wonder exactly what that means, for an organization like Leadership 100 is not especially well known by many of the laity in our church.
In 1984, His Eminence Archbishop Iakovos of blessed memory established a special endowment fund, then known as Leadership 100 (later named the Archbishop Iakovos Leadership 100 Endowment Fund, in his honor). The stated goal of this fund was and is “…provide an opportunity for Greek Orthodox leaders to support the life-sustaining ministries of the Church.” Since its creation thirty-six years ago, Leadership 100 has distributed “…$60 million in grants that have ranged from providing scholarship funds for individuals studying for the priesthood at Hellenic College/Holy Cross School of Theology to supporting a variety of National Ministries.”
