Isabel RomeroI am glad to see that the volume includes the work of Metropolitan Eusebius on the social role of the Church today, that always seems practical and necessary to me. I'm also curious about Varvounis's article on the summer festivals on Samos, between tradition and modernity; It sounds concrete. Can the volume be obtained in the parish or do I have to order it through the center?

Rubén RomeroYes, I really liked Metropolitan Eusebio's article on the charity of the Church today, it is one of those texts that one can apply in the day-to-day life of the health center. Varvounis's report on summer festivals also looks interesting, especially what he says about how tradition and modernity mix. I haven't seen it in the parish yet, have you already asked for it through the KΕΙΠΜ?

Fernando GarcíaYes, Metropolitan Eusebio's article seemed very practical to me, especially when he talks about charity in everyday life; I apply it when I sew clothes for the parish closet. I also read Varvounis's about summer festivals slowly, I liked what he says about tradition that adapts without being lost. I haven't ordered it from ΚΕΙΠΜ yet, but I will ask my husband to call this week. Do you already have it on paper or do you read it in pdf?
