Thanks a lot.

Section 10: Answer: No.[edit source]
Dear César Minoru Harada,
Your Servant does not refer to himself in that fashion for any of those reasons. He does so because he is an Orthodox Christian Evangelist; it is his Work to be of service to the Servants of God If you are a Servant of God, Your Servant is indeed Your Servant.
