EDITORIAL
The path of the new archbishop
 Yesterday's election of a new archbishop of Athens in a rapid, clear and procedurally impeccable manner, showed us that the Hierarchy of the Church of Greece is paying attention to the signs of the times and learning a lesson from the mistakes of the recent past. Archbishop Ieronymos is now called upon to lead the Church with modesty, unity and a spirit of reconciliation - this is the mandate handed to him by the Church Hierarchy.
COMMENTARY
A rock in difficult times
 Archbishop Ieronymos takes charge of the Church of Greece at a crucial time for the Church and Greece. The world has changed radically in the past few years. The Greeks remain the most devout people in Europe and the Church is not in any danger of dying out. But as a people and as individuals, we face pressures that will determine the future relationship of the clergy with the people and of the various groups in the country.
