The Archbishop of Thyateira and Great Britain, His Eminence Gregorios, issued an encyclical on the occasion of Holy Week, where he underlined that the values of Christianity are always timely.
In his message, the Archbishop stressed, among others, that “…the values of Christianity retain their significance and relevance throughout time. This is particularly true in our own days when many men and entire nations and governments have lost their true bearings, since they have distanced themselves from the message of the Gospel, of which the Great Lent reminds us, through the sacrifice of Christ for the benefit of others, with the message of freedom and respect for others and the spirit of sacrifice and unselfishness that should at all times predominate in the actions and thoughts of human beings.”
