Dear Alice,

Christian tourism is very important and should be promoted in the East as much as possible.

It is important for North Americans and Europeans to see that Greek-Orthodoxy (Byzantine Christians) are a real living church which in some countries is the 'majority faith' and not 'exotic exception'.

I'm glad to hear that the Greek Orthodox Church is taking the initiative.

Hritzko

Dear Alice,

I enjoyed the article.

God bless the Greek Orthodox Church for providing for the spiritual needs of the Olympic's spectators and athletes.

I pray that such news will be carried on the Olympic television coverage.

Christ is our peace.

Paul

There is a Spiritual Olympics being held too. God is always calling the heart of man to him, to run the good race. The bishop was at the starting line, Lord willing, from it there will be many conversions to Chirst!

Thanks for the article Alice.
