The Venerable Metropolitan of Grevena Gervasios (Soumelidis)translated

His multifaceted work by His Eminence Metropolitan of Grevena Gervasiou Soumelidis in Pontus, Asia Minor, Nicaea Attica and Grevena examines the book by Archimandrite Alexios Hairetis which is published by Eptalofos publications.  A due debt of honor and historical memory to a Hierarch who dedicated his life to the Church, to Hellenism and to man.

The history of Pontic Hellenism is inextricably linked with enlightened ecclesiastical personalities, who, in difficult and critical times, selflessly served Orthodoxy, Hellenism and humanity.

One of these special figures was the Venerable Metropolitan Gervasios (Soumelidis) of Grevena, whose diverse spiritual, educational, social and national activity is a valuable legacy for future generations.

His life and work highlight the important role played by church leaders in preserving the faith, historical memory and national dignity of Pontic Hellenism, especially during the tragic years of the uprooting.
