by Brotherhood of Dimitsaniton “Gregory the E” · 1978
Summary
The June 1978 issue publishes an excerpt from Metropolitan Theophilos’s book ‘Do not love the village and you will see’, titled ‘First of all: programme—and not merely a programme’. It underscores study, prioritisation and realistic planning of local works, combining practical reason with morale-building vision. The Association is urged to sequence needs, set priorities for projects that maximise benefit to the village and also strengthen residents’ spirit. A union of practicality and values is proposed as a guide for systematic, collective action so that interventions are both useful and ethically fortifying for the community.
