Retired Brig. Gen. Jeff Foley, who retired from Fort Eisenhower in 2010 after a 32-year military career in the U.S Foley’s father served in World War II and landed on the coast of France during the Battle of Normandy But Foley was never intent on making the military his career When he was considering his future options for college I was recruited to play quarterback at Army Foley wasn’t only committed to the football team He was also active in several sports on campus and got involved in numerous clubs and activities dove on the diving team for two years and I played baseball all four years,” Foley said I joined every club I could to get off campus just to enjoy a little bit of freedom from campus.” “I remember I joined the scuba club because they spent a day off campus going down to New York City and scuba diving in the Long Island Sound in the freezing rain,” Foley added but it was a chance to experience New York City in a unique way Foley knew he would have a five-year obligation to the Army after graduating While he never intended to make the Army a career They would both be reassigned to Korea together in 1984 Second was the real “eureka moment” in his life in Korea while assigned as a 28-year-old Army captain in command of a company of 220 soldiers at a place called Camp Red Cloud “We were 30 kilometers from the Korean Demilitarized Zone where actions were happening on a regular basis that created real tension between the two nations,” Foley said While I knew I was well trained and prepared for this assignment I had to earn the respect and trust of my soldiers quickly while carefully applying every leadership skill I possessed.” “I will never forget the positive impact I had on so many soldiers and their impact on me,” he added “We accomplished every mission thrown our way and it was then I realized that the Army was the place for me The Army is exceptional at training soldiers how to act and educating soldiers how to think I went into that position as a 28-year-old company commander feeling competent and confident in my ability to lead.” from Korea to Germany to Iraq and Afghanistan. “The beautiful thing about the Army is that they are relentless in developing leaders at all levels to help prepare you for the position you’re going in to,” Foley said “I will never forget the positive impact I had on so many soldiers and their impact on me We accomplished every mission thrown our way and it was then I realized that the Army was the place for me.” Beginning with his education from West Point and every military assignment that followed Foley never wavered in his deep feelings of honor and privilege to serve the United States in uniform that the beauty of every assignment was the people,” Foley said We had a chance to travel all over Asia and the South Pacific We spent three years in Germany and traveled all over Europe When I retired as brigadier general of then-Fort Gordon we decided we wanted to stay in Augusta and make it our home.” Foley spent almost three years as an executive administrator in several leadership roles at Augusta University including serving as the vice president of military and global affairs all designed to help leaders build and sustain high-performing teams that achieve greater results I work with successful leaders who want to achieve positive and lasting change in behavior for themselves and the people they lead,” Foley said “Helping develop leaders in the Army was a special passion of mine How successful I was is for others to assess but it inspired me to want to continue that task upon retirement Helping others grow continues to be a real joy in my life.” “Helping develop leaders in the Army was a special passion of mine As the keynote speaker at Augusta University’s Graduate Hooding and Commencement Ceremony this month Foley wants the graduates to understand the importance of leaving a legacy “Every one of these individuals graduating is going to continue to deal with people,” Foley said “They all have achieved greater technical competencies during the academic experience but ultimately their success lies in how well they can share what they learned with the people they encounter.” “We are all living a legacy in our lives of how we will be remembered after we are long gone,” he added “Leaving a legacy of making a positive and lasting difference in the lives of others Stacey Eidson is the communications and media relations strategist for External Relations at Augusta University Contact her to schedule an interview on this topic or with one of our experts at 706-522-3023 or seidson@augusta.edu Jagwire is your source for news and stories from Augusta University Daily updates highlight the many ways students researchers and clinicians "bring their A games" in classrooms and clinics on four campuses in Augusta and locations across the state of Georgia On April 15, 2025, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) sought approval of its 2024 EEO-1 Component 1 data collection. The EEOC’s new proposed 2024 EEO Component 1 Instruction Booklet (the “Booklet”) changes some reporting obligations for employers Private employers with at least 100 employees must file the EEO-1 report annually federal government contractors with 50 employees previously were required to file EEO-1 reports What is less clear is whether government contractors with less than 100 employees will have to file their EEO-1 report. The EEOC’s proposed Instruction Booklet still requires federal contractors to file The Booklet does not address whether President Trump’s Executive Order 14173 One major proposed change to the EEO-1 report is the removal of the option for employers to report employees who identify as nonbinary Employers previously could report nonbinary employees in a separate comment box The instruction booklet does not require employers to collect or report pay data We will monitor whether the 2024 Instruction Booklet is approved employers should collect data by employee job category now so they are ready to report in May or June We look beyond the law to focus on the constantly evolving demands facing our clients Images of people may not be Foley personnel In a letter sent today to the State Legislature’s Performance Audit Committee State Auditor MikeFoley addresses the considerable expense of leasing commercial space for State offices – which hasincreased from $16 million in fiscal year 2019 to $22 million only five years later in fiscal year 2024.That cost increase of over 37% is an appreciable price hike that Foley doubts will abate any time soon.As of December 6 the State leased 1,524,034 square feet in 193commercially owned buildings within 37 Nebraska counties – paying as much as four times more persquare foot than was expended for comparable office space in State-owned buildings This enormousprice difference per square foot accounts for much of the glaring discrepancy between the costs for officespace in State-owned buildings and their commercial counterparts Foley’s letter indicates.“It is important to note,” Foley emphasized “that this ongoing acceleration in the cost of rentinggovernment office space has occurred despite the number of State employees remaining relativelyunchanged.”“In recent years,” Foley said “my office has received concerns regarding the cost of usingcommercial office space.” Based on information contained in the State’s accounting system or madeavailable by the State Building Division of the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) “It appears incontestable that the State is spending far more than necessary onoffice space for agency employees.” He continued “My intent is to bring that concern to the attention ofthe Legislative Performance Audit Committee and the Legislature as a whole.”The State Building Division is responsible for officespace in State-owned buildings is assigned to government personnel; otherwise accommodations aresought in commercial properties agencies located outside of the State Capitol buildingmust pay rent for their offices reliance upon commercial office spacecomes at an exorbitant cost to Nebraska taxpayers.For 2024 the State Building Division reported an overall occupancy rate of97% for the seven State-owned buildings that it managed But the audit team has observed instanceswhere there may be more efficient ways of utilizing space in the State buildings to alleviate the need torent far more expensive commercial space Foley suggests also that the State consider augmenting itscurrent property holdings through the purchase or lease-purchase of additional buildings for more officespace to avoid throwing taxpayer dollars down the drain in excessive rental payments.In 2020 DAS announced plans for construction of a proposed new State office building indowntown Lincoln Nebraska – touted in the press as saving “approximately $35 million over 30 yearswhen compared to leasing commercial office space over that same time period.” After spending millionsof dollars for various costs including architectural work and rendering documents the almost $57 millionproject was abandoned.More recently the State began the process of obtaining brokerage services to determine thefeasibility of selling its 175,706-square-foot Omaha State Office Building and its accompanying fivestory 34,555-square-foot parking garage with 402 spaces The State Building Division reported theproperty as having a 97% occupancy rate in 2024 – meaning that approximately 450State employees currently working there would have to be relocated to different sites Foley stated that he also brought these matters to the attention of the DAS Director and his team.“In his response to the contents of my office’s letter,” Foley noted “The DAS Director has affirmed thatthe State Building Division is continuously assessing the Lincoln market and several properties are beingconsidered for possible State offices.”Foley observed further “I am offering for the Legislature’s consideration one more possible wayto save precious taxpayer dollars – namely by replacing commercially rented office spaces with Stateowned alternatives.” While the initial cost of acquiring the needed properties will not be inconsequential,Foley acknowledged the long-term savings to the State should prove well worth the investment “With aggressive legislative leadership and a determined effort,” Foley concluded “I am confidentthat a positive outcome can be realized.” A copy of the Auditor’s letter to the Legislature including the DAS response letter can be foundat: https://auditors.nebraska.gov/ © 2025 Nebraska Rural Radio Association.

Arkansas: On March 4, 2025, Arkansas enacted a law amending the state’s noncompete statute to ban physician noncompetition agreements The term “physician” is defined to include any person authorized or licensed to practice medicine under the Arkansas Medical Practice Act and any person licensed to practice osteopathy in Arkansas The law takes effect in the summer of 2025 Louisiana: Louisiana enacted a law limiting noncompetition agreements for physicians employers cannot have a noncompetition agreement with primary care physicians once they have been employed for three years or with any other type of physician after they have been employed for five years The law defines primary care physicians as those who predominantly practice “general family medicine or general gynecology.” For primary care physicians the law prohibits a noncompetition provision longer than three years “from the effective date of the initial contract or agreement.” It also prohibits employers from including a noncompetition provision in “[a]ny subsequent contract or agreement between the employer and primary care physician executed after the initial three-year terms.” In the event a primary care physician terminates their employment during the initial three-year term an employer may enforce a noncompete covenant that prevents the physician from carrying on or engaging in a business similar to that of the employer in the parish in which the primary care physician’s principal practice is located and no more than two contiguous parishes in which the employer carries on a like business The parishes must be specified in the agreement and the agreement cannot exceed a period of two years from the date of the physician’s termination The same limitations apply for all other types of physicians except an employer may enforce a noncompetition agreement against a non-primary care physician if the employer terminates the physician’s employment within the first five years (as opposed to three for primary care physicians) The law explicitly excludes certain physicians: specifically physicians employed or under contract with a rural hospital or physicians employed or under contract with a federally qualified health care center the law only applies to employment-based agreements Louisiana’s statute specifically permits noncompetition and nonsolicitation agreements in the sale-of-business context Maryland: Maryland enacted a law limiting noncompetition agreements for employees who (1) earn less than $350,000 per year and (2) are either (i) required to be licensed under Maryland’s Health Occupations Article or (ii) are employed in a position that provides direct patient care a noncompete agreement must be limited to one year and cannot exceed ten miles from the primary place of employment Pennsylvania: Last summer, Pennsylvania enacted the Fair Contracting for Health Care Practitioners Act (the “Act”) limits certain noncompetition provisions entered by licensed medical doctors the Act only permits noncompete provisions for health care practitioners if (1) the provision does not exceed one-year post-employment and (2) the employer seeking to enforce the provision notifies certain patients within 90 days of the health care practitioner’s termination Utah: Utah passed a law on March 26 that prohibits a “health care services platform” from requiring a health care worker to enter into a noncompetition agreement The law defines “health care services platform” as “a person that operates or offers for use” an “electronic program or application through which a health care worker may accept a shift to perform a health care service or role and Utah are not the only states that impose heath care-specific limitations on noncompetition agreements have long-standing limitations on physician-based noncompetition agreements Most states impose some form of restrictions ranging from very minor limitations to outright bans Employers expecting to enter noncompetition agreements with health care employees should work with counsel to understand the state-specific limitations and requirements We will continue to monitor and report on developments

which deviated from the Third Circuit’s (2018) interpretation that “resulting from” requires some “link” between a kickback and the false claim short of but-for causation The Allergan opinion highlights circuit court disagreement regarding the AKS “but for” causation standard and the potential expansion of that split The opinion also underscores the importance of this issue as the Court provided detailed guidance as to the types of allegations it viewed as sufficient to show causation Congress amended the AKS to provide that “a claim that includes items or services resulting from [an AKS violation] constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of [the FCA].” The meaning of that simple phrase “resulting from,” remains a divisive issue in courts across the country While the Seventh Circuit has yet to address the 2010 amendment with respect to FCA cases in 2024 the Court opined on the meaning of “resulting from” in Stop Illinois Health Care Fraud The Court concluded it requires “some causal nexus between the allegedly false claims and the underlying kickback violation.” Although the Seventh Circuit did not rule on what specific level of causation the AKS requires — whether “but-for causality or something less” — Sayeed proved instructive to Judge Jenkins’ decision in Allergan The Relators in Allergan are former employees who allege that the company “devised a scheme” to provide illegal kickbacks were payments made to physicians across the country who were hired to educate others about Allergan pharmaceutical products The Relators argued that because the physicians were being paid to speak about Allergan products subsequent claims paid for those prescriptions violated the FCA noting the argument “is nothing more than the causation-less temporal standard rejected by the Seventh Circuit in Sayeed.” The court further ruled that “all that matters” for an AKS violation is a defendant’s “intent in paying the kickbacks,” not “whether any prescriptions were written as [a] result of the kickbacks.” Further referencing Sayeed the court noted the Seventh Circuit was clear that “resulting from” requires some level of “actual causality” and agreed with the First and Eighth Circuits that it requires but-for causation rather than a mere link between payments and claims (as endorsed by the Third Circuit) The court also explicitly discounted a differing Third Circuit opinion finding the concerns “animating the Greenfield court decision … not persuasive.” In doing so the court highlighted that “all the other Circuits to directly address the question point in one direction — holding that ‘resulting from’ requires but-for causation for claims made under the 2010 Amendment.” After examining the text of the statute and the Seventh Circuit’s guidance in Sayeed the Court agreed that but-for causation is the appropriate standard the Court held that for all but a few physicians the Relators’ claims failed because the Relators alleged only a mere correlation of “an uptick in prescriptions” and the speaker program payments The Court explained that “Relators should present data that controls for other variables such that an increased number of prescriptions by” physicians who participated in the program “is likely attributable to Allergan’s payments.” The Court gave examples of allegations that would suffice such as “identifying specific quid pro quos” or “comparing Speaker Bureau physicians’ prescription rates against prescription rates of doctors not receiving” Allegan payments Because some of the Relators’ allegations in Allergan survived the motion to dismiss the case likely will not yet be appealed to the Seventh Circuit Allergan provides a potential roadmap for arguments in the NDIL and sets the stage for another appellate decision on this issue While Allergan falls in line with other circuit courts ruling in favor of but-for causation for AKS-premised FCA cases The Supreme Court declined to review the issue in 2023 lower courts are likely to reach differing conclusions until the Supreme Court weighs in Foley will continue to monitor developing case law and provide updates on this issue

Upgrade now. LOS ANGELES -- A.J. Hinch has had a running theme of not naming a closer in his tenure as Tigers manager. So though Jason Foley led the Tigers in saves last year But when the Tigers open the season on Thursday against the Dodgers The Tigers provided a plot twist in their bullpen competition by optioning Foley, whose 28 saves last year was tied for fifth-most in the American League. The surprise move helped Detroit settle its eight-man relief staff “That was a hard conversation for him,” Hinch said “and a harsh reality that he does have some things to work on Our best pen can function in a lot of different ways Foley rose from an undrafted free-agent signing to the anchor of Detroit’s bullpen last year His 69 appearances tied for the team lead with Will Vest while he recorded nearly twice as many saves as the rest of the Tigers bullpen combined (17) He was dominant during the Tigers’ late-season run to the postseason posting a 2.12 ERA and a .155 batting average allowed in 20 appearances from Aug Once the Tigers reached the postseason, however, Foley’s role changed. He entered for the ninth inning in Game 1 of the AL Wild Card Series in Houston with a 3-0 lead and Foley didn’t pitch the rest of the postseason as Hinch -- wary of teams loading up with left-handed hitters against the sinker-baller -- turned to other relievers The strength of Foley’s Spring Training performance depends on how you look at it He allowed five earned runs on 10 hits over 7 1/3 innings but all five runs and six of the 10 hits came in two early Grapefruit League outings against the Blue Jays and Yankees He then tossed four scoreless innings with four strikeouts over his final four outings and his 10-to-0 strikeout-to-walk ratio showed progress in getting swinging strikes rather than relying on soft contact “I go back to best execution and best stuff,” Hinch said “He had a hard time getting that going in the spring and found himself starting the season in Toledo to go work on exactly those things and find his locations better and find his best stuff Sign up to receive our daily Morning Lineup to stay in the know about the latest trending topics around Major League Baseball Meanwhile, Brenan Hanifee -- another right-handed sinkerballer -- had a scoreless spring posting 10 2/3 innings on seven hits with three walks and nine strikeouts Hanifee also played a big role down the stretch last season posting a 1.84 ERA in 21 appearances following his August promotion from Triple-A Toledo He made his playoff debut in Game 2 of the AL Wild Card Series in Houston with 1 2/3 scoreless innings “We’re going to take a little bit of a hotter hand into the season,” Hinch said Foley wasn’t the only veteran reliever sent to Toledo.

official website of the United States government Location: 445 Broadway, Albany, NY 12207 Congress allocated $3.325 million for the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase a site and construct a new federal building in Albany the government chose a location on the southeast corner of Broadway and Maiden Lane and subsequently demolished several existing buildings to prepare the site for new construction The Office of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury selected the prominent local architectural firm Gander Gander & Gander to design the building under the Public Buildings Act of 1926 which gave treasury officials the option of hiring private architects for federal projects Notable New York City architect Electus Darwin Litchfield who began his career with the renowned firm of Carrere & Hastings before establishing his own practice served as consulting architect on the project and contributed major design concepts and aesthetic refinements The architects designed the building in the Art Deco style which was simultaneously Modern and decorative the architects used the term “modern classical” to describe their innovative design instructing observers to “Squint your eyes look in perspective and note the classical proportions of the building—minus columns and entablature.” The architects completed their plans in 1931 and the following year the government awarded the construction contract to Kenny Brothers Prominent officials and the public gathered for a cornerstone-laying ceremony on August 18 The building had an exterior bridge connecting the nearby rail station with the post office which occupied the entire first two floors the building was listed in the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing building to the Downtown Albany Historic District who President Harry Truman appointed to the Northern District of New York in 1949 Foley served the federal courts for forty years including a period as chief judge from 1963-1980 and senior judge from 1980 until his death The post office vacated the building in 1995 District Northern Division of New York State Courthouse is a distinguished symbol of the federal presence in Albany It is an excellent example of Art Deco architecture which incorporated sleek Modern forms while retaining ornate yet stylized decorative elements The architects utilized high-quality materials on both the interior and exterior The walls rest on a Bethel White granite base and are faced with Vermont Eureka marble above the water table The building is built around two light courts that admit natural light into the interior Vertical bands of windows with aluminum muntins emphasize the height of the five-story building Black structural glass spandrels separate the windows on the facade each topped with an eagle that is more than eight feet tall and carved from a seventeen-ton Vermont marble block by New York City sculptor Albert T who also received the commission for the building’s frieze Artist Benjamin Hawkins created ornate aluminum screens titled Departments of Government located behind the eagles The screens contain stylized motifs representing the Departments of Navy thirteen stars representing the original colonies A bas-relief frieze encircles the building on three elevations: the west facade contains images of postal service activities and the south elevation illustrates the mission of the courts To make the carvings visible to street-level viewers Stewart created figures approximately eight feet tall and executed at a depth of nearly three inches the architects designed an opulent interior are used on the richly appointed interior walls and floors Ceilings are ornate plaster with medallions and stepped molding covered with aluminum leaf Entrance vestibules lead to public lobbies with marble walls Marble mosaic medallions are inset in the north and south lobby floors A gilded plaster ceiling medallion of the United States Seal is centered in the lobby and framed by step moldings covered with aluminum leaf and gold stars Marble pilasters divide the main lobby into nine bays Parsons painted the oil-on-canvas murals in 1935 depicting each of

highest level of innovative legal services and to the stewardship of our people Foley & Lardner LLP (Foley) and Relativity began experimenting with GPT products in 2023 which evolved into the “aiR” suite of GPT-based tools currently available today Foley’s participation and success with early experiments encouraged Foley legal teams to push novel uses of aiR to see how it would perform One such experiment was a multilingual (Spanish and English) internal investigation additional time and money are spent on fluent reviewers and translations Only one of the team strategists driving the scope of the investigation was fluent in Spanish It was the ideal situation to test aiR’s ability to not only translate but to analyze and understand the language well enough to generate support and citations for its recommendations The English-language case strategist drafted an English-language-only prompt in aiR for Review to identify five core issues The results were extraordinary in that aiR was able to identify the issues Validation tests were performed on the accuracy of the issue detection at both the record and issue level The citations also were validated by Foley’s multilingual attorneys to ensure they were supportive of the analysis The cost and time this saved over generating record-level issue analysis and translation before aiR cannot be overstated The need for document translation and the time and expense related to translation was eliminated This allowed all case strategists to see English results overnight and quickly move on to counseling the client the inputs that give aiR for Review the context it needs to evaluate data is essential to successful and accurate output The prompt criteria used for this analysis were developed using an iterative approach This iterative approach allowed the review team to review initial prompt results and adjust the prompt criteria to either correctly categorize documents based on the initial understanding of the matter or revise the prompt to account for new information discovered while reviewing the documents the initial prompt criteria were based on instructions that had been provided to the bilingual reviewers by the case strategists Some Spanish-language search term review had been done up until this point and a handful of those materials were used for the prompt testing Could aiR find what Foley reviewers already knew These initial criteria were tested across 50 previously identified “hot” documents with relevant issue tags to determine if aiR for Review could identify the same issues across the sample set and appropriately provide Spanish-language citations and reviewers provided feedback on documents that aiR identified as “borderline.” Based on the QC feedback the prompt was revised with additional instructions as to how these borderline documents should be categorized Even further revision of the prompt following additional human review of relevant documents resulted in an improvement of recommendations from borderline to relevant when tested by a random sampling of 100 new The workflow Foley established was to conduct human review over any borderline document This process demonstrates the importance of an iterative approach to developing prompt criteria By testing an initial version of the prompt on a small sample the Foley team was able to evaluate aiR’s interpretations and understand needed inputs that would lead to more accurate predictions the reviewers were able to further enhance the information provided in the prompt These adjustments to the initial prompt improved results and established the confidence needed to leverage the technology across a wider data set aiR for Review was run across a set of unreviewed material that hit on prioritized search terms of which 589 were determined to be relevant to the issues or borderline An additional 385 documents received were not appropriate for aiR to Review to analyze due to format limitations and unanalyzed records (974 documents in total) The results were impressive: 6% (55) of the documents received reviewer feedback the vast majority of which were those that aiR identified as “borderline.” Only two documents were assessed incorrectly; in those instances interpreting a document as relevant when it was not less than 1% of aiR’s recommendations were overturned by human reviewers in the QC process no additional adjustments were made to the prompt criteria and aiR was used on additional and larger sets of documents Since the subjective review of aiR for Review’s performance was positive Foley enlisted the help of Relativity’s data scientist to confirm the subjective results objectively Foley’s bilingual subject-matter expert (SME) for the project reviewed aiR for Review’s results from samples sets of documents designed by Relativity’s Data Scientists The SME was instructed to assess both (1) aiR for Review’s issue detection and (2) citation support for its conclusions issue and citation validation both yielded a <1% error rate The investigation is ongoing at the time this article was published the Foley team has continued to use aiR for Review to accelerate the review of pertinent documents aiR for Review demonstrated a remarkable ability to analyze Spanish material and identify Spanish citations all while providing robust reasoning around its decisions in English When a multilingual partner reviewed the rationale and citations for accuracy over 99% of the rationales were determined to be correctly interpreted and 89% of the citations were determined to correctly support the analysis This capability introduces tremendous opportunity for efficiency in multilingual cases Alongside faster and more accurate analysis aiR for Review can help reviewers easily summarize and report on documents where the source language is not understood by seasoned attorneys firms can hire individuals based on their expertise without worrying about language barriers and then use aiR for Review’s reasoning and rationale to help those experts understand the nature of the matter even if they are not familiar with the language in the source documents While we are just beginning to explore generative AI’s ability to work across languages the initial results show great promise when it comes to using generative AI to drive time and cost savings for multilingual document review If you have questions about aiR for Review or Foley’s use of Artificial Intelligence contact the authors or your Foley & Lardner attorney This week marks 100 days of the

New converts are joining faster than we can ordain priests. Eighteen years ago, Fr Christopher Foley (M.Div. ’06) started with a small group of families; he has since stewarded the parish of Holy Cross in Kernersville culminating in the consecration of the parish’s beautiful new church building on September 21 Being at the seminary gave me a vision for a proper liturgical life Jumping into a brand new mission with three people singing in the choir is tough I remembered those vigils at the seminary and the antiphonal choirs and I really felt like I graduated with a lot of tools in a tool belt but I realized pretty rapidly that the best way to learn how to be a priest is to just be on the job But I felt like my time at St Vladimir’s certainly prepared me I graduated in 2006 and was assigned to this new mission that had been organized about a year before. We met in a hotel banquet room for six months, setting up and taking down every week. Very quickly, I started saying, ‘Okay, we’ve got to find a place.’ It’s funny how God doesn’t waste anything—my background in the underground music scene ‘We could start a rock venue here,’ it was ‘We could have church here.’ We looked at about 15 different spaces and finally found a Presbyterian church that rented us their old youth hall for $400 a month We completely renovated this little outbuilding into our first church Two parishioners even drove up to Ottawa to pick up an iconostasis The Foley family at Pascha: (from left) Jonas just before the installation of the main cross atop the dome there was no all-English Orthodox church in our area of North Carolina The founding group really had a vision for an English-speaking applying for the OCA planting grant about two years in People got excited about the vision of Holy Cross and wanted to be part of it and spent the next few years preparing to break ground After hiring a local builder and architect we launched a formal capital campaign that went amazingly well—we raised about $1.5 million putting a damper on everything–prices went up and the church we were renting from folded We rented a basement from a Methodist church where we had 100 people downstairs while they had only three or four people upstairs even in the basement of the Methodist church We launched a secondary mini-capital campaign to raise more funds and finally moved into our new building this past January I have a spreadsheet with 141 names—people inquiring we have around 45 people coming to catechism classes Moving into our own building happened at the perfect time; if we were still in the basement We’re averaging about 150 people on Sundays and one of the best questions I’ve heard was what are the things you do during the week that somebody could take off your plate?’ As a mission priest used to wearing 42 different hats The Holy Cross parish photo after the consecration of the new church building Bishop Gerasim (OCA Diocese of the South) presided and about 300 people—it was just such a joyous time after everything we’d been through Rarely do you have a moment where you can step back and just look and see the work that God has done in such a tangible way it was very difficult when we were going through the building stuff We had interpersonal struggles and some people left the parish I don't know if I'm the person for this job.” We bought our property 11 years ago and started praying on it probably 10 years ago We wanted God to bless our efforts and bring unity to the process We had a faithful group of about 10 or 12 who would stand out there Praying the molieben at one of the final “prayers on the property,” Fall 2023 I remember telling this story at the banquet: once I just fell flat on my face before the Holy Table The building is an icon of us as the living stones It reflects the work we’ve all done in prayer the sacramental life has stayed central—everything flows from the Holy Table Even with our new focus on hospitality and small groups I’ve told each group leader to ensure their work supports our liturgical life We’re not creating small groups for their own sake but strengthening our shared vision for a sacramental Fr Chris at the Holy Table on the day of his ordination to the priesthood Our wives are also dear friends; they have their own group that texts daily and meets once a year for a week-long get-together Those seminary connections have been foundational for my wife and I Fr Chris and Mka Carrie standing in the new church on the day of its consecration with their dear seminary friends Liturgical life at seminary was also central The chapel was where we went to reset and remember what this is all about I chose St Vladimir’s Seminary because Fr Alexander Schmemann is a spiritual father to me Fr Alexander’s vision for the sacramental life reminds us that worship is our actual and tangible participation in Christ and how we worship is what we believe.” Seeing that vision lived out over those three years at seminary gave me a clear sense for parish life: if people are drawn to Orthodoxy and the beauty of our services then we must do it well; it has to be beautiful I put a lot of emphasis on getting our choir in shape and making sure our services were done beautifully and in good order—not chaotic All of that came from my seminary experience And then there were the pastoral theology classes with Fr Paul Lazor He’s like my inner guide—‘What would Fr Paul do?’ I think of the stories he shared from his experience in parish life when I encountered difficult pastoral situations and had no idea what to do I’d think back to his advice and remember his stories Fr Paul Lazor tells seminary children the story of St Nicholas in December 2004; Mka Carrie is standing in the back left of the photo We’re at a point where many parishes need to consider expanding—having more than one priest or other church-supported employees whether they’re priests or educated laypeople who can share the load but now since I serve on the OCA Metropolitan Council we’re noticing that not as many parishes are applying for the mission planting grant It’s not that missions aren’t starting; it’s that maybe the model is shifting with parishes now taking on the responsibility for starting new missions themselves One possibility I’ve considered are parish development grants that help support parishes—like ours—to hire a second priest or part-time admin so the priest and volunteers don’t burn out Fr Chris surveys the new nave with one of the founding members of the Holy Cross mission We need to think about moving parishes from one stage to the next Archbishop Dmitri of blessed memory would say that once a parish reaches about 300 people We don’t want parishes to grow so large that they shift from a family model to a corporate model—it’s just a different experience with community breaking down and people feeling isolated where I go to be spiritually fed and find community.” This connects to something else I see happening as our culture grows more divided and online and I think we’re already seeing a backlash and I think our parishes must stay focused on being places of connection and hospitality and deeper faith—something beyond the surface Matushka and I have been encouraging a family from our parish to consider going to seminary We met with him and his wife about a year ago I’m certainly recommending St Vladimir’s for many reasons young family with two kids and are probably in their early 30s—the perfect age they were like deer in headlights—not opposed but it sounds great.” They’re handling it wisely waiting a few years to pay down debt and considering what to do with their house and we discussed some of the financial questions that arise “How did we live on such a small income during those years at seminary?” I remember our first week at seminary when we were still covering our mortgage back home an envelope with exactly $729—our mortgage payment—was left under our door but we saw it as confirmation that we were where we needed to be Navigating the Yonkers city schools’ special needs department was another challenge Our oldest son has special needs and is non-verbal a retired local priest who sat on the school board we might not have gotten the support we needed and it highlights the value of in-person seminary People ask why they can’t just do it online and keep their lives intact I think seminaries will need to keep strongly advocating for the in-person experience because it will only get harder to justify the sacrifice Seminary was so foundational for me—we wouldn’t have done it any differently and navigating all the difficulties was invaluable We used to joke they made it harder on purpose “How am I going to finish all these papers and spend time with my family?” But you do it You learn time management and how to prioritize I knew I had to say no to some things—even if it meant missing matins or getting a few B’s—so I could have breakfast with my family I believe this in-person seminary experience is essential for raising up clergy and lay leaders in the Church I just don’t see how it can be done without that immersive The parish Fr Chris leads, Holy Cross Orthodox Church has the unique distinction of being home to two current St Vladimir’s Seminary trustees We asked each of them to share their thoughts in response to the following questions: Fr Chris has a heart for searching souls who are deconstructing their faith or lack thereof he is able to shepherd many such individuals to Christ and the Orthodox Church I know Father Chris was passionate about missions before he attended St Vladimir's Seminary but his seminary training undoubtedly contributed greatly to his ability to guide new inquirers and catechumens so deftly The growth of our parish is a testament to the fact that more and more people are flocking to the Orthodox Church This influx of new converts makes the incredible need for additional clergy and seminary-trained lay people even more dire I became a trustee at St Vladimir's Seminary so that I could use my experience and legal skills to assist the Seminary in its core mission to equip men and women to serve the Church I really learned about St Vladimir’s through Fr Chris I knew that the Seminary existed as a school and press but I first came to appreciate the seminary through him The seminary shines through Fr Chris in so many ways and he has always shared his deep love for St Vladimir's with his parishioners and catechumen classes are deeply informed and edifying He often refers to what he learned in seminary and he clearly draws on his education regularly allowing us to benefit from that education the deep friendships that he and Matushka Carrie formed during their time at St Vladimir's have been vital as they have sought advice and support as our community grew I see tremendous value in what the seminary provides for future priests and their families as well as lay people who are studying at the seminary and who will serve the Church in many different ways Being a Trustee is a privilege - it
