Welcome to Called to Lead: An Orthodox Christian Perspective. Demitri Fardelos and Mary Scott co-host this podcast with the help and support of their collaborators: His Eminence Metropolitan Nathanael, the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Chicago, and the Strategic Planning Goal Team. This season discusses Orthodox Servant Leadership, diving into topics from developing servant leadership qualities to developing volunteer teams to conflict resolution. 

In this episode, Fr. Chrysanthos Kerkeres from St. George in Chicago joins Demitri and Mary to discuss how to develop collaborative volunteer teams that drive the Church’s mission forward. Father and Presvytera Vicki have been serving at St. George in Chicago for the last eight years.

Volunteer recruiting can be difficult—finding the right members for the right positions. Parish leaders want to fit spots, but they do not want volunteers who are counterproductive and create conflict in the group. This episode discusses how leaders can recruit and develop better volunteers. 

Featured Speakers: 

• Rev. Father Chrysanthos Kerkeres, Presiding Priest, St. George Chicago
• Co-hosts Demitri Fardelos and Mary Scott
