The Miracle of Confession | Metropolitan Demetrius of America | Tea Time at the Seminary

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 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.
