Εκκλησία και αγώνες της Κρήτης (1856-1905) [The Church and the Cretan struggles (1856-1905)]. |
p. Michail Vlavogilakis, National Research Foundation "Eleftherios K. Venizelos" - Holy Metropolis of Kydonia & Apokoronas - I. Sideris publications, Chania 2011. The Church is not a conventional social institution in our national life. Conversely, has the power to inspire partisan races, and even starred in revolutionary uprisings. By participating in the struggles of a people for its independence, confirms the Divine Will for the prevalence of freedom, justice and happiness in human societies. Often in Greek history, the clergy and monks contributed to the maintenance of the national identity and of the Orthodox belief. This book, grounded on the valuable material of historical sources, reveals all the revolutionary movements for the liberation of Crete from the Ottoman yoke (1856-1905) and confirms the impressive participation of the Orthodox clergy in every painstaking and persistent effort for the vindication of many years of racing.
