The Voice of the Greek CommunityREFLECTIONS FROMTHE PULPITby Rev. Christian SiskosAssociate Priest andYouth DirectorHow We Care For Our DogsCan Teach Us a Lot AboutRelationships.There are plenty of dogs out there.You may own one yourself.Big, small. Short, tall. Skinny, fat.But there’s only one dog in theentire world that is unique to me.And hopefully, I, to him. And that isDamascus, my Alaskan Klee Kai.The unique relationship thatDamascus and I share is not by accident.It has taken a large investment of mytime and attentiveness to get to wherewe are today. My recipe for this greatfriendship that Damascus and I shareis A.R.T. And many of us, when caringfor dogs, employ A.R.T. without evenrealizing it. Our challenge is to employA.R.T. within our human relationships.So, what is A.R.T? What’s the recipefor deep and authentic relationships?Well, A.R.T. begins with A IS FOR ATTENTIVENESSWhen we first got Damascus, he wasa 3 month old puppy. Wild, energetic,and extremely curious. This was hisnature. This meant I had to be veryattentive to his movements. What hewas sniffing, eating, playing with?This attentiveness allowed me tocomprehend Damascus a little better.It allowed me, over time, to anticipatehis needs. And to understand, moreimportantly, his frustrations.The same can be said of ourrelationships. Attentiveness is a keyingredient in healthy and authenticrelationships.JAN/FEB 2021 3It may look different for everyrelationship, but it serves the samepurpose. Being attentive communicatesto the person that they are important.Their world matters. And that you arethere to love, support, and encouragethem along the way. And none of thisis communicated with grand gestures,but with simple everyday words oractions. A call asking how they’redoing. A hug. A kiss. A small gift thatshows you’re thinking of them. Maybean act of service - cleaning a sectionof the house, offering to run an errand,deciding to help with a project. Anaffirming word like - “You’re doinggreat,” “You’ve got this,” “I’m righthere supporting you.”Again, not grand gestures, keep itsimple and small. The hope is that thesegestures become like small transactionsinto the emotional bank of ourrelationship. All positive interactionsare deposits into the emotional bankaccount, while negative interactions arewithdrawals.This isa conceptdevelopedby Dr. JohnGottman, theleading nameon martialrelationships.He believeswe all haveemotional bank accounts in ourrelationships. But what he noticedfrom studying countless of couplesand years of research - with the abilityto predict divorce with 93% accuracy- is that in order to keep a relationshiphealthy, you need a ratio of 5 positivedeposits to every 1 negative withdrawal.Anything under and the relationshipcould crumble.Being attentive in our relationshipsand friendships helps us balance themand ensures that our ratio of positiveto negative remains at a minimum 5:1.built with Damascus.Rhythm is the daily and repetitivemovements that feed and sustain arelationship. Rhythm adds consistency.It adds a certain level of expectation.Rhythm adds a contextual-boundaryto the relationship like the seasons.We expect spring to come after winter.Summer before fall. If for some reasonit starts snowing in the summer, we willvery quickly understand that somethingis off.Rhythm is the second ingredient forhealthy and authentic relationships,because rhythm provides a level ofsecurity. Imagine meeting up with yourfriend and one day he’s happy to seeyou, the next day he hates you, but twodays after that he’s your best friend.This would be confusing. You wouldn’treally know what to expect day to day.On the other hand, if your friendshows up daily and is consistent intheir attitude towards you, then you canunderstandor empathizewhen theywalk in witha crummyattitude. Youcan quicklyunderstandt h a tsomething iswrong. Hiscrummy attitude is not consistent withhis character.Develop rhythm in your relationships.Show up. Be consistent in yourcharacter. And notice your relationshipsbegin to flourish.The A.R.T. of ourrelationshipsR IS FOR RHYTHMEvery morning and afternoon, mywife walks Damascus. Every eveningI walk him. We take similar paths.Our walks last between 15 to 30 mins.Whenever we get back from our walk,Damascus usually goes straight forhis food and water. Whenever I comehome, he’s waiting excitedly for meat the gate. When it’s time for bed, hefollows us into our bedroom. These areall snapshots of the rhythm that we haveT IS FOR TIMEThose earlier days of having apuppy was a huge investment of time.There were many early mornings andlate evenings trying to ensure thatDamascus wouldn’t pee or poop insidethe house. He inevitably did anyway. Ittook weeks, if not months, of training.Whether it was taking him for hikes orto the vet when he was ill, all of thistending required time.Which is our last ingredient in A.R.T.It’s time.Time is a huge component, primarilybecause it’s such a finite resource. Timecan’t be exchanged, bought or sold. Icannot ever get more time. I only havethe time that I have. That’s it. A dayconsists of only 24 hours. That meanshow we allocate our time is a reflectionof our priorities. This means that whenwe invest our very finite resource,our time, into our relationships andfriendships we make them a priority.Spending time together isn’t justsitting in each other’s presence. Itcould be doing different projects inthe same space. Or participating inthe same activity. Intentionally settingaside time to touch base. Schedulingmoments of intimacy. Designating daysthat are considered sacred or specialto the relationship. An anniversary, abirthday, remembering that time youalmost missed your international flighteven though you arrived at the airport3 hours early.All these moments of time build upthe reservoir of shared experiences.Time is yet another deposit into theemotional bank account.So, make time. Schedule it if youhave to. This will greatly contributetowards a healthy trajectory in yourrelationships.Employ A.R.T. in your relationshipsand see how it goes. Develop thoseauthentic relationships.The alternative is far worse; shallowrelationships and the feeling ofloneliness that robs you of much joy.

4JAN/FEB 2021The Voice of the Greek CommunityThe Holy Trinity Centennial 1923 * 2023One in a series of reflections on Charlotte’s Orthodox community and its proud historyThe 1920’sIn 1923, the Greek Orthodox Parish ofCharlotte was organized under the sanctionand with the blessings of the Greek OrthodoxArchdiocese of North and South America,which was headquartered in New York. Thefirst church services were held at the chamberof commerce building until the local AmericanHellenic Educational Progressive Associationchapter (Ahepa) rented and provided an upstairshall on East Trade Street. At this time, the youngparish and the first Greek school began theirmission of maintaining the religious and culturalqualities of the Greek People.In 1929, approximately 50 families fromthe Charlotte Parish purchased the formerWestminster Presbyterian Church for 32,000.00.Mr. Matthew Karres offered his signature andpersonal collateral so that the purchase could bemade. This Church was located at 1439 SouthBoulevard and was renovated with a GreekOrthodox Sanctuary. The Iconostasion, icons,chandeliers, and pews were acquired from anOrthodox Church in Baltimore Maryland. TheChurch was Consecrated, dedicated, and namedafter the Holy Trinity.Highlight Events of the 1920’s September 11, 1922 – Establishment of the2nd AHEPA chapter after Atlanta, which wasestablished July 26, 1922. April 22, 1923 – Visit by Syrian ArchbishopA. Golam, the first Eastern Orthodox Hierarchto visit Charlotte where he celebrated HolyWeek and Easter. June 10, 1923 – State charter was granted. August 20, 1925 – Visit by AHEPA SupremePresident Chebithes. July 15, 1925 – Death of E.D. Latta, who builtthe Latta-Jones Mansion. April 29, 1926 – Holy Thursday, the firstLiturgy is celebrated at Holy Trinity withFather Polycarpos E. Krithinakis, the firstresident Priest of Holy Trinity.Historical facts were found in the Xenophon Nixon HolyTrinity Archive Collection.Contributor: Historian Bill SamonidesCompiled and edited by Kathy Kanellopoulos and GloriaKontoulas of the Archives Committee.Above: A picture of the exterior of Holy Trinity’s first standalone place of worship, the formerWestminster Presbyterian Church on South Boulevard. At right, a view of the interior duringa celebration of the Divine LiturgyQ&A with Liz RabyHow long have you been signing in American Sign Language (ASL) andwhere did you learn? I have been signing for over 15 years. I worked forCharlotte-Mecklenburg Schools for 14 years and am now with Gaston CountySchools. I started learning ASL in high school because my best friend was deaf. Ienrolled at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro to pursue a Bachelor’sdegree in Deaf Education. This is where I received my formal training.How long did it take for you to prepare to sign the Liturgy? I can only imagineit was more difficult to do than a regular conversation due to the language?It took me a good month to prepare to sign the Liturgy. I had to really break itdown and understand it fully. There were some signs I did not know and had toresearch them. It was an eye opening experience. I was able to truly understandthe Divine Liturgy, it was wonderful! Signing the Divine Liturgy was much moredifficult. It is considered a frozen text, which means it has not changed in sometime, and there was a specific way that I had to set it up. This made it much morethan a regular conversation.How often will we provide this feature to our Liturgies? I am hoping tointerpret once a month and on special occasions.What would you recommend to people who are interested in learning tosign? Central Piedmont Community College is one of many options for learningto sign.I would be more than happy to help as well.Chapel at Evergreen CemeteryThank you to Spiro Kotrotsios for overseeing the landscape improvementsand to John Hondros for arranging with Nektarios Karagiannis the replacementof the spot lights.
