Pastor Pat Novak was such a gracious host for this meeting, and his church provided a beautiful meal for Bishop Stanley and Sarah and all of us. We so appreciated their care of us along with Father Stan while we all were here!
This beautiful sanctuary is the setting for our special services. We look forward to being in service here.
One of the wonderful moments is Bishop Stanley laid hands on Pastors Doug and Susan Young and transferred anointing to them, His prophecy to them was awesome - and Susan was quick to capture the words as soon as he finished praying over them.
Bishop John Stanley is one of the precious few who carries the lineage of the Apostle Thomas, one of the original twelve Apostles Jesus chose. The Orthodox Church of the East was the natural ministry line that came from the Apostle. And his prayers and anointing touch is a treasured gift to the few to whom he has laid his hand upon.
As in times past when he transferred the authority of the Apostleship of Thomas, to my husband, so this process is carried on through the centuries. We each feel the special touch of the Lord come down in this most special moment.
