Leader Bio:
The Very Rev. Fr. John Bethancourt is formerly the pastor (now retired) of Holy Trinity Orthodox Church. He and his wife, Khouria Photina, led a small group of 25 souls into Orthodoxy at the end of 1995 and founded Holy Trinity. He was first introduced to Orthodoxy in his early twenties, having met an Orthodox professor at Arizona State University.
After teaching school for three years and then working for four years as a chaplain at ASU, he became an Episcopal priest, although during all that time his heart could never escape the transcendent beauty and cosmic theology of the Orthodoxy Church. Eventually, he knew the only way to satisfy the unquenchable hunger he felt was to become Orthodox. Fr. John and Kh. Photina have been married for 45 years (since 1977) and have three grown children and two grandchildren.
Their eldest son, Fr. Daniel, is also an archpriest in the Antiochian Archdiocese. Â

Love me, Lord, just for today
Lord, for tomorrow and its needs, I do not pray; Keep me, my God, from stain of sin just for today. Let me both diligently work, And duly pray. Let me be kind in word and deed, Just for today. Let me be slow to do my will, Prompt to obey; Help me to sacrifice myself Just for today. And if today my tide of life should ebb away, Give me thy sacraments divine, Sweet Lord today. So for tomorrow and its needs I do not pray, But keep me, guide me, love me, Lord, Just for today.
