    He was maybe the only spiritual leader that opened the church to young people saying:
    Come as you are with long hair and earrings (for boys)....and short skirts for girls...
    God rest your soul...

    Impunity is an open wound in the human soul.


    ΑΙΡΕΥΟΝΤΑΙ ΕΝ ΑΝΤΙ ΑΠΑΝΤΩΝ ΟΙ ΑΡΙΣΤΟΙ ΚΛΕΟΣ ΑΕΝΑΟΝ ΘΝΗΤΩΝ ΟΙ ΔΕ ΠΟΛΛΟΙ ΚΕΚΟΡΗΝΤΑΙ ΟΚΩΣΠΕΡ ΚΤΗΝΕΑ
    The best choose one thing in exchange for all, everflowing fame among mortals; but the majority are satisfied with just feasting like beasts.

    To a fine leader. Farewell.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    Cool Re: A Great loss for global Orthodox Christianity...

    Well that is the head of the Mormon's and the Orthodox... a couple of more heads of various church's in a short span and I might have to read up my revelations...
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
