Saturday, July 26, 2008
A small group of Christians intends to establish a permanent mission in the Cape Girardeau area. The group of Antiochian Orthodox Christians has been worshipping with visiting priests in private homes and other temporary places, and now feels ready to reach out to the community and seek a permanent location, said the Rev. Peter E. Gillquist of Minneapolis, archpriest in the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America and chairman of the Department of Missions and Evangelism for the Archdiocese. Gillquist will lead a public meeting at 7 p.m. Friday at the Show Me Center; the meeting is for people seeking information about the Antiochian Orthodox Church.
