Unwaivering support for this rare and special man. With kindness, empathy, wisdom and humility, he has enriched the lives of so many. During one of his sermons, he once preached about how the way we live each day becomes a page in our "book of life". He urged us to consider the kind of book we are writing with our thoughts, words and actions, and to adjust them accordingly. There is no doubt that his book serves as a guide for us all. Sending love to him and his beautiful family.

Father Nick does not deserve to be treated in such a callous and heartless way. Bring him back! Let the community decide, not the council and not Methodios!

This is a disgrace to our Church. I have no respect for Father Ted and our Metropolitan. Its so sad that our children and our youth have to see this and be part of this. Father Nick has been the greatest priest and friend to me personally and my family.

It takes a special sort of leadership to create the community that he has developed. It would be a mistake to destroy this special community by removing a cornerstone of its structure.

I have been hearing rumours that some slime bags have been trying to get rid of father Nick. I have been a member of our church since 1979. Father Nick has baptised 2 of my children, and blessed my brother's soul, my wife's soul, and my fathers soul at our church and at the cemetery. He has stood by me and my family in our hours (Not hour) of need. I can't imagine this vital and important human being taken out of our lives because of someone's feelings being hurt or whatever 5, 10, 25, years ago. Church parishes not only choose their priest the members also have a say. BRING BACK FATHER NICK. This is a very non Christian like act. It's a disgrace that we have gotten to this point.
I would also like to say, when my wife Sofia was sick Father Nick was there every time we needed him. He helped get many doctors top in their fields together (which doctors present were shocked that 6 people so talented were there considered it a miracle they were there all at the same time). He was there in all his strength, his suggestions, his love and kind words. When Sofia my wife, Theia Spyridoula, and I landed at Logan Airport coming from Mexico in hope of a treatment, I called Father Nick at 4AM. He picked up the phone on the first ring. He met us at the Lahey Clinic at 5AM and stayed there. He was there when my wife Sofia took her last breath. He blessed her soul and then tended us his flock. This love kindness and care is not something that happens everyday. I know, and he is the first one to say it that he is not perfect but who is? Father Nick is my priest! And don't get me started with church history because of power struggles between the Phanariotes and the Patriarch. That is why 1821 was the beginning of our war of independence and not later. The Phanariotes wealthy Greeks in Turkey told the church that they would lead the Greeks and that there would be a gradual move to remove the Sultan and place one of the old noble families in charge. The church would not hear of it. H

Removing a dedicated priest after 26 plus years is abitrary and just plain cruel. The PC and Priest should work out any differences in the spirit of humility and kindness. Unfortunately, that does not appear to be the spirit of this diocese.

It's a disgrace to fire a wonderful priest due to the infighting and ungodly and unChristian like behavior being perpetrated by others. Δροπη.
