The Catholics have their Vatican, the Muslims their Mecca, the Hindus their etc . Yet the 300 Million Orthodox faithful are denied their Spiritual Home. How long will this continue? Surely, the time has come for equality ...





He is the spiritual leader of the 300 million faithful. He still is. He is in no need for earthly riches. As a matter of interst, does the figure encapsulate the Russian Orthodox and any other Orthodox? or just the Greek? :D

I must dig out my Bulgarian Liturgy CD. I need to relax.

Not universally true. Certainly Greek Orthodoxy has not spread through war - although it has been the victim many times. As for Islam - then yes, it has spread through violence and seizures of other's territories, churches etc.

Thomas Jefferson had a particular affinity for Greece, not only because of its classical republican philosophy but also because of his studies of the origins of languages. He expressed his empathies with Greece revolting its Ottoman rulers. "No people sympathize more feelingly than ours with the sufferings of your countrymen, none offer more sincere and ardent prayers to heaven for their success. . . Possessing ourselves the combined blessing of liberty and order, we wish the same to other countries, and to none more than yours, which, the first of civilized nations, presented examples of what man should be."

Your link is non-existent. Nevertheless, I sense your accusation: so whose territory did Makarios seize? Which country did he invade to spread Orthodoxy? Sorry, Deniz - you are no brethren.

Sorry about that. It was just a pic of Pres. Makarios and Grivas at Kokkina directing operations against the TC students. :D
