With the blessing of our shepherd, His Eminence Metropolitan of Rethymno and Avlopotamos, Anthimos, we proceed to the publication of the articles that are being circulated in the weekly newspaper "Rethemnos".
We believe that the holy Fathers are the bright lamps who illuminate Christians of all ages with their rich teachings. In publishing these articles, we do not intend to replace our Fathers, but simply to help those brothers who cannot easily refer to the texts of the Fathers and find answers to the issues that concern them.
The various topics we deal with are by no means exhausted in this publication. These specific articles do not constitute a complete theological study nor do they claim to be scientific works. They are simply newspaper articles intended to give readers a basic understanding and answer to the issues they analyze. We also preferred to publish them in the exact format they had in the newspapers.
Nevertheless, we believe and hope that they will help our brothers, challenge them, and encourage them to explore these specific issues in depth, which, we repeat, are not exhausted in this publication.
