Service remembers accomplished leader

A memorial service will be held tomorrow at Sts. Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Pacific for the former leader of Greek Orthodox Christians in the Western Hemisphere.

The 11 a.m. service will honor Archbishop Iakovos, who died Sunday in Stamford, Conn., at the age of 93. Iakovos championed religious unity and human rights during his 37 years as head of the American branch of the international church. He met with Pope John XXIII in 1959, the first Orthodox archbishop to meet with a Roman Catholic pope in 350 years. He marched with Martin Luther King Jr. in the 1965 Selma, Ala., march and received the Medal of Freedom from President Jimmy Carter in 1980. He was president of the World Council of Churches for nine years.

The archbishop visited Hawaii Orthodox Christians on three occasions. He officiated at the consecration of the church building at 930 Lunalilo St. as a Greek Orthodox cathedral in November 1990. He retired in 1996.
