Dear Clergy,
I am extending the deadline for this request which appeared last week. I commend the clergy who fulfilled their online training as requested below this past week. I have learned that some clergy still mistakenly believe they have the option of not having to meet this requirement. Please know that is a misunderstanding. All clergy are required if they serve any of our parishes, and leading the way is His Eminence Metropolitan Alexios, His Grace Bishop Sevastianos, myself, and most of our clergy. Thus, to support those who have delayed, please use this week to catch up. Thank you, Brother Clergy, for helping us ensure safety for our parish and metropolis youth. Faithfully yours, +Fr. George Tsahakis, on behalf of His Eminence Metropolitan Alexios
Youth Protection Reminder
for Metropolis of Atlanta Clergy
The Archdiocese requires all clergy to be certified youth workers according to the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America Youth Protection Guidelines. In addition to passing background checks, they must successfully complete online training to ensure that as they minister to our youth, they are aware of appropriate youth safety guidelines and youth workers regulations to enhance the safety and protection of our parish youth.
Our clergy are asked to visit this link to ensure they have completed both modules of training. The two modules include "Youth Safety" (which has 2 quizzes) & "Youth Worker Regulations" (which has one quiz). His Eminence Metropolitan Alexios thanks and commends our clergy who have completed the training. He has asked that I remind clergy who have not done so to not delay further.
If you have not completed both online training modules, please do so by Monday, August 9th at 5:00 p.m. so your name is included in the status report to His Eminence Metropolitan Alexios. Again, this is an Archdiocese mandate... we need 100 percent clergy compliance. Email the Chancellor if you need help. -
Check Back on or after Tuesday, August 10 2021 at 2:00 p.m. for more updates!
