Greek Orthodox Leader dies

Archbishop Christodoulos of the Greek Orthodox Church died today (Monday) after a battle with liver cancer. Christodoulos led the Greek Church to a boost in membership after decades of decline, and was the first Greek Primate to welcome a Pope (John Paul II/the Great) to Athens in over a millenium. He was a popular leader, though his firm and abrasive style of leadership did not please everyone. Read the whole story here.
