General NewsABCNewsOnline: Terrorism comparison angers Greek community

Advertiser Adelaide: Greeks want PM apology

From ERT:

02 Mar 2007 12:23:00: Greek-Australian citizens and local parliamentarians have condemned the recent statements made by Australian Prime Minister John Howard, in which he compared Iraq to Greece with respect to the issue of terrorism. On Wednesday, Greek-Australian federal Labor party MP, Steve Georganas personally lashed out against Mr. Howard in Parliament stating that “Australian citizens of Greek descent, many of whom have voted for me are terribly angry over Howard’s statement”. Georganas underlined that it is unbelievable for the PM to compare Iraq, which claims at least three thousand lives per month with Greece. The MP noted that the Greek government implements all the necessary measures to ensure the safety of citizens, and specified that Greece is one of the safest places in the world. In addition, Georganas pointed out that over one hundred thousand Australians visit Greece each year….without anyone’s safety having ever been threatened. Finally he stressed that Howard’s statement was terribly insulting and highly condemned.απο την σελίδα johnmetaxas.com. lornion.blogspot.com

Utah Mormons, Protestants finding new spiritual home in ancient Orthodox church

By  BOB MIMS   |   The Salt Lake Tribune The Salt Lake Tribune It shook the fundamentalist Christian world to its roots:  Hank Hanegraaff , the darling of evangelicals as host of the long-running, nationally syndicated "Bible Answer Man" broadcast, had joined the Greek Orthodox Church. Hanegraaff, for nearly 30 years president of the Christian Research Institute, an evangelical apologetics ministry, also has written 20 books opposing purported cults and heresies and non-Christian faiths. If ever evangelicals had a doctrinal superhero, Hanegraaff was he. But on Palm Sunday,  in a video released via social media , there was the 67-year-old Hanegraaff kneeling for "Holy Chrismation" — a rite of anointing with oil accompanying baptism — inside  St. Nektarios Greek Orthodox Church  of Charlotte, N.C. Within days, Bott Radio Network, a 107-station strong, evangelical broadcasting empire, severed its longstanding relationship with him; other criti...

επιλογές .....κεφαλονίτικα ανέκδοτα

Κεφαλονίτικα ανέκδοτα Συζητούν τρεις παπάδες, ένας από το Αγιο όρος, ένας από την Αθήνα και ένας Κεφαλονίτης για το πως κατανέμουν τα έσοδα των εκκλησιών τους. Λέει ο παπάς από το Αγιο όρος: «Εγώ Πετάω στον αέρα όλα τα νομίσματα και όσα έρθουν κορώνα είναι του Θεού και τα δίνω για τις ανάγκες της εκκλησίας και όσα έρθουν γράμματα είναι δικά μου». Λέει ο Αθηναίος παπάς: «Και εγώ πετάω τα νομίσματα στον αέρα και όσα σταθούν όρθια είναι του Θεού και της εκκλησίας, όσα πέσουν στο πλάι (κορώνα ή γράμματα) είναι σαφώς δικά μου». Και στο τέλος ο Κεφαλονίτης ο παπάς: «Εγώ κύριοι συνάδελφοι κάνω το ίδιο που κάνετε και εσείς με πιο απλές διαδικασίες για να μη χάνουμε και χρόνο. Πετάω στον αέρα όλα τα νομίσματα. Όσα θέλει τα κρατάει ο Θεός και όσα πέσουν κάτω είναι δικά μου!» Είναι ένας Κερκυραίος, ένας Κεφαλλονίτης κι ένας Λευκαδίτης, που ξεμονάχιασαν, κάπου σ' ένα αραχνιασμένο, σκοτεινό υπόγειο ένα λυχνάρι, απ' αυτά τα μυστήρια με τα τζίνια. Το τρίψανε και ξεπετάχτηκε το τζίνι. «Έχετε ο...
