Called to Serve - Journeys to Ordained Ministry is a unique collection of testimonies, as told by the faithful clergy of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Chicago of the Archdiocese of America. His Eminence, Metropolitan Nathanael opens the book, after the patriarchal forward by All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, with his own introduction and story of his journey to ordained ministry. "This book allows the faithful to intimately know their clergy," writes his Eminence, "It is my fervent hope and prayer that this initiative not only strengthens the bonds among the clergy, but also inspires vulnerability, trust, and a renewed sense of purpose." 

Called to Serve is also written and compiled with those who feel called to pursue ordained ministry in mind. This book is an inspiring resource for anyone who wishes to have a deeper insight into the experience of Orthodox clergy in America.
