The Clergy of the Metropolis of Denver |
The priests and deacons serving the parishes of the Metropolis come from many
different backgrounds. Some grew up in the Orthodox Church, while others are
converts from the Roman Catholic and Protestant faith, and others transferred
into the Metropolis from various other canonical Orthodox jurisdictions. Most
of the priests are graduates of the Holy Cross School of Theology; the rest
have attended various other theological schools in the United States and abroad.
