Archbishop Ieronymos calls for unity
Archbishop of Athens and All Greece Ieronymos called for unity among Greeks on Wednesday, saying people should avoid turning their financial woes into internal divisions.
"Above all else and everyone, there’s the country. We’re all united by our love for this place. The agony for its present and its future. Nothing separates us. This is why we must not allow the poison of division drip in our souls,” the head of the Greek Orthodox Church said.
"We owe our children to guarantee a Greece of development and progress. A Greece which moves ahead with confidence and certainty, as a part of the flesh of the core of our common European family,” added, while noting that “we shouldn’t jeopardize the achievements won by this country’s visionaries won. And that’s non-negotiable.”
