It is a statement that we are a nation of men and women for whom spiritual guidance and fulfillment is a vital part of daily life. Our countrys spiritual leaders play an indispensable role in helping us to forge a sense of community. and I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of them for their service. For me personally. growing up. the Greek Orthodox religion was a constant and important presence in my life. My father was a Greek immigrant: my mother. the daughter of immigrants. So. ever since my early childhood. Greek Orthodox religious traditions have been at the center of my upbringing. and have helped shape my beliefs and my life.
