Halki Theological School to reopen "soon"
Take this with a grain of salt. The imminent reopening has been heralded for years with little actual change.
and this is important why? and to whom is it important? could the limited resources be better spent elsewhere?
ReplyDeleteYes, a school that produced Iakovos and Spiridon can remain mothballed a while longer. Pay instead for the lovely humble chapel at Ground Zero? Well, maybe some third option...
