Archbishop Spyridon: Language, Culture, National Issues Marked as Priorities
Archbishop of America Spyridon in an interview to Hellenic
media in the US outlined the basic axes of the policy
he will follow. He said that his efforts will focus on
the education of the younger generation, on the problem of mixed marriages, the teaching of the Greek
language and the preservation of the Greek cultural heritage. The Archbishop said that the first place in this
hierarchy is occupied by the effort to pass on to
younger generations the Christian Orthodox faith, as it
is the only way out from the dead ends found in modern society which is characterized by individualism
and consumerism.
He also said that Greeks in the US and therefore the
Archbishopric are preoccupied with the problems faced
by the Cypriots, the Greeks of Constantinople and the
members of the Greek minority in Albania. The
Archbishop of America announced that there will be
changes in the administrative and the economic structure of the Archbishopric maintaining that this is the
beginning of a new era. [SS from MPA]
