#03 Metropolitan Serapion: Celebrating 25 Years of Ministry in Los Angeles (Part 3)

His Eminence Metropolitan Serapion celebrates his Silver Jubilee this year and as part of the celebrations I thought that it is extremely important to crown this podcast with a four part series with His Eminence. In the next two episodes #03 and #04, we will continue our lively discussion which I am sure you will all enjoy and benefit from. Here, we will have a conversation about His Eminence’s ministry in Los Angeles. We will hear first hand about the obstacles and achievements along the 25 years and much more. His Eminence Metropolitan Serapion has led the Diocese of Los Angeles, Southern California and Hawaii faithfully over the past 25 years. He has served with great wisdom and zeal. His Eminence’s vision is remarkable and distinguished with innovation, while at the same time preserving the faith and tradition of the Coptic Church. This man of God places the pastoral needs of his flock as a top priority in his ministry. His great emphasis on both religious and theological education is evident. As the former auxiliary bishop in Egypt for Public, Ecumenical and Social Services, he has not neglected this ministry in Los Angeles. His Eminence established the Department of Diakonia, led by Bishop Abraham to continue the work in LA. He also established the Department of Education, led by Bishop Kyrillos to advance religious and theological education. Do not miss out on this episode to learn from his thoughtful insights on many aspects of his long and successful ministry.
