“The words of preachers today have the effect of throwing turpentine on a fire…”

Elder Amphilochios (Makris)

“The words of preachers today have the effect of throwing turpentine on a fire. The poor and unlettered laity have been abandoned and now don’t listen. They need to see good works and lives of Christian love… they need to feel that their brother is co-suffering in their pain. Only through love for them and through philanthropic works will we manage to bring our brethren back close to Christ.”
- Elder Amphilochios (Makris) of Patmos (1889-1970)
