Saint Photios Orthodox Theological Seminary is excited to announce that Metropolitan Demetrius of America has joined us for a very special episode of Tea Time at the Seminary!
His Eminence is a Hierarch of the Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christians of Greece. He was enthroned as Metropolitan of America in 2014 and is President of the Eparchial Synod in charge of overseeing the Genuine Orthodox Christian parishes throughout the Western Hemisphere.
Recently, His Eminence became the Honorary Chair of "A Light in the Darkness: Seminary Expansion Campaign." This is an ongoing project that will more than double the size of the Seminary's current facility. Visit spots.edu/expansion for more information!
In addition to being the Metropolitan of America and the Honorary Chair of the Seminary Expansion Campaign, His Eminence is also Abbot of the Saint John of San Francisco Orthodox Monastery in Cobleskill, New York, where this interview took place.
In this episode, Metropolitan Demetrius discusses the steps to repentance, how and why everyone must confess their sins, and one of the best pieces of advice he has ever been given.

Thank you so much for this video. My wife and I are both scheduled to be recieved into the Orthodox church through baptism this year on September 30th and we will both be giving our lifetime confession in a week or two. I have led such a sinful life for the majority of my life so having to sit and think deeply on my past has been so hard for me. Im remembering things I never thought I would have to think about again in my life. Im not afraid to confess what needs to be confessed. The hard part for me is knowing my spiritual father is going to know all of these horrible ugly things about me. Nonetheless I know it has to be done. This video was extremely helpful! All of that being said I can't even put into words how grateful I am that my wife and I found the church! I feel like for the first time in my life I will finally have an opportunity to know who I am and who I'm supposed to be in Christ!

Rejoice, my soon to be brother in Christ! With your confession and baptism you'll become as clean as the snow. And having these feelings of shame will keep you from coming back to the old man. May the Mother of God keep you both safe!

I just love the Metropolitan Demetrius. His calming voice is a wonderful medium for the wisdom he possesses and shares. 💜 His explanation resonates perfectly with my experience of confession. He is right, it does heal. But not as the world heals, confession heals from inside out, and the healing is permanent and true freedom is the outcome. It’s a miracle. When we go to confession, we participate in a miracle. If you feel fear of confessing something, just say it anyway. Anyone who will judge you is being judged by God, so there is nothing to fear. Care what God thinks of you, not men. All good advice given by the Metropolitan. Do what you need to do, but confess. Just do it.

As a new believer exploring Orthodoxy this was truly helpful. Especially when the Metropolitan said that we all have been given our own crosses to bear. So having much difficulty is not because of defectiveness or weakness I think he means.

I think of all the Sacraments, this one is most misunderstood, so the more I can learn about it, the better I can understand it. Thank you so much and God bless you!

Thank you for this. Most will see this interview and get bored with the somber character and flow of His Eminence and this q&a, but for those really looking to get deeper in the faith...this is literally mana from heaven. Listen carefully and soak up this knowledge and understanding. The Bible is deep, the traditions are meaningful and beneficial for growth. I pray that more surface level Christians start to pursue God on a deeper level and understand the true meanings of what the Bible and the church teach. ❤

Thank you. Archbishop Demetrius is one of the only people I know who, when he speaks, the flow of the grace of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, palpably drips down upon us. I recognize the truth of all that he speaks. These are things I used to know in my heart and soul, but fell away from. Now, when I hear them, I recognize them as true immediately. It reminds my soul that I used to live a better spiritual life, and pulls me back toward it. I feel like I have to listen to this man, for the peace and salvation of my soul. The life God has given me confirms every word Archbishop Demetrius says as truth...and I take every possibility to listen to him, with great thankfulness. His God given words heal and soothe my broken heart and soul. Thank you for sharing this video. It's helped me tremendously.

Hi love to learn as much as possible about our faith and it’s depths of knowledge. Just hearing about the old calendarist Church . And that it came about as a protest against the change in the 1930’s from the ancient calendar (in some sort of ecumenical effort ? Is that why ? ). if anyone can recommend a detailed history or analysis of what happened with this - thanks ! God Bless !
