By the Grace of God and the decision of the Holy Synod, the servant of God Andrew, Hierarch, is elevated and installed as the Metropolitan of the Holy Metropolis of Toronto.
“Receive this staff that thou mayest shepherd the flock of Christ entrusted unto thee; and unto those under thee that are submissive, let it be a staff and support; but unto those that are unsubmissive and unstable, use it as a rod of restraint, a rod of discipline.”
“To Andrew, the most reverend and God proclaimed Metropolitan, of the most holy Metropolis of Toronto, our father and chief-shepherd be many years!”
