The clergy and lay leaders of the Metropolis of San Francisco will have the opportunity to come together at the 2015 Metropolis Clergy-Laity Assembly to be held on April 27 – 28, 2015 at Saint Nicholas Ranch and Retreat Center in Dunlap, California. The Assembly will begin promptly at 1:00 p.m. on Monday, April 27 and will conclude by 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 28.

The theme for this year’s Clergy-Laity Assembly is “Commit your work to the Lord and your plans will be established.” Proverbs 16:3. Mr. Steve Tibbs and Mr. Gerry Kamilos, who have been serving as the Metropolis Strategic Plan Program Managers, will make a presentation on the current implementation phase of the plan. There will also be a special presentation by the Rev. Fr. Christopher Metropulos, Dmin, Pastor of Saint Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, and Executive Director of the Orthodox Christian Network, (O.C.N.), entitled, “The Digital Media / The Great Commission: Can They Intersect for the Good of the Faithful?”  This year also marks the ten-year Anniversary of the falling asleep of His Eminence Metropolitan Anthony of blessed memory. We shall honor his pioneering vision for the Metropolis of San Francisco and explain how his legacy is being carried on through the work of His Eminence Metropolitan Gerasimos and the Strategic Plan.
