About John Chrysostom
LINK to OrthodoxWiki article on John Chrysostom
Our father among the saints John Chrysostom (347-407), Archbishop of Constantinople, was a notable Christian bishop and preacher from the fourth and fifth centuries in Syria and Constantinople. 

He is famous for eloquence in public speaking, his denunciation of abuse of authority in the Church and in the Roman Empire of the time, and for a divine liturgy attributed to him. 

He had notable ascetic sensibilities. After his death he was named Chrysostom, which comes from the Greek, meaning golden-mouthed
