The last few days I spent on Crete, meeting the new general director of the Orthodox Academy of Crete, Dr. Konstantinos Kenanidis, learning about the situation of the acacemy, the plans and visions of the new director, and the new Metropolitan who is chairing the board of the academy. Travelling with the German ambassador to Greece, Dr. Wolfgang Schultheiss, and meeting the Archbishop of Crete, Irenäus, who in his earlier years was a member of our executive committee. Taking part in the liturgy at the Chrysopigi monastery and talking to the sisters there, enjoying their hospitality, and last not least seeing my old friends Alekos Papaderos, and many more people who I cannot all list here - all in all, it was sucha pleasure being in Crete again after quite a while!
Here is a short greeting from Kostas, taken with my iPhone in front of the new building of the academy.
