A small Florida city hosts what is believed to be the world’s largest Epiphany celebration. For the Greek Orthodox teenage boys who dive for the ritual’s white wooden cross, the event is also a chance at their own epiphany concerning the role of God in their lives.
“This was a game-changer for us. The chance to climb up from the ‘dance floor’ of our everyday activity and discern a clarified organization future from the ‘balcony’ was the gift we needed even more than we understood at the time.
If possible, please pursue this extraordinary opportunity.”
— Tim Soerens, Parish Collective
