Homilies of Fr John Bethencourt
By Orthodox Christian Teaching
Fr John Bethencourt is former pastor of Holy Trinity Orthodox Church in Santa Fe. He and his wife, Khouria Photina, led a small group of 25 believers into the Orthodox Church at the end of 1995. He was first introduced to the Orthodox faith in his early twenties. After teaching school for three years and then working for four years as a chaplain at ASU, he became an Episcopal priest. During all that time his heart could never escape the theology and worship of the Orthodox Church. In due season, he knew that the only way to satisfy his seeking was to come into the full communion of the Church.

He and his wife, Khouria Photina, led a small group of 25 souls into Orthodoxy at the end of 1995. He was first introduced to the Orthodox Church 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 Khouria 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.
