US Vice President Joe Biden will meet with Archbishop Demetrios, of the Greek Orthodox Church in Philadelphia, USA. The two men will meet next Wednesday, July 9, at the official dinner ceremony to mark the 42nd Greek Orthodox Church Assembly, which takes place in Philadelphia July 6-10.
The Greek Orthodox Assembly is an institution first launched in 1922 and it takes place every two years. The Assembly includes all member hierarchs, that is, all active canonical bishops in its region.
This year the Assembly will include bishops and hierarchs from the 540 parishes that are active in the USA
US Vice President has met Archbishop Demetrios before.
At their last meeting held at the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese premises in Manhattan, NY, in November 2011, the US official expressed his sincere hopes that Greece will find its way out of the crisis.
Since you are here…
…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website.
However, resources for editorial are scarce.
In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription.
It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.
Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service,
weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers.
Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible -
Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.
For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little?
A cup of coffee?
It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.
If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month,
they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ,
Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
