Saint Nektarios Monastery was founded and established in January 1999 by the reverend Elder Ephraim with the blessing of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. The purpose of the Monastery is to provide a spiritual setting wherein worship and doxology of the Holy Trinity can take place ceaselessly by the resident monks; to be a luminous example of virtue and holy conduct for the faithful; and to preserve the sacred traditions of the Orthodox Church and transmit them to the ensuing generations.
No One Is Greater Than Jesus Christ
Ernest Renan (1823-1892) was a French historian, philologist, and critic. Even though he was a complete unbeliever, compelled by the facts themselves, he unwillingly overlooks his personal prejudices and confesses in his work, The Life of Jesus, among other things, the following:
Jesus cannot belong solely to those who call themselves his disciples. He is the common honor of all who share a common humanity. His glory does not consist in being relegated out of history; we render him a truer worship in showing that all history is incomprehensible without him.
