 ''IAKOVOS: A LEGACY" ON THE HALLMARK CHANNEL MAY 8th

New York, NY - "Iakovos: A Legacy" will be re-broadcast nationally on the
Hallmark Channel, Sunday, May 8th from Noon-1:00 p.m. (ET/PT) and 11:00
a.m. (CT). Please check local listings. The 1996 Emmy Award winning program
was produced by the television ministry of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese
of America, GOTelecom, on the occasion of the retirement of the former
Archbishop of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North and South America.
Archbishop Iakovos passed away on April 10, 2005 at the age of 93.

In this re-broadcast special, His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios of America
offers an introduction to this hour-long documentary.  Archbishop Iakovos
was the spiritual leader of the Greek Orthodox Church in the Western
Hemisphere for 37 years. Building on the work of his predecessors, he
guided the Greek Orthodox Church and the Greek American community through
their age of maturity to assume their rightful place in this land, as
vibrant and visible members of American Society. The documentary captures
the highlights of his long career and examines the effect of his leadership
from the perspective of the people who knew him best.
