With a circular that is expected to cause a variety of comments, the Holy Metropolis of Kalavryta and Aigialeia shows ‘door’ at the “Smile of the Child”, by prohibiting the placement of a special piggy bank in religious ceremonies within the church, especially at funerals and memorial services.
Yes, urges the priests and the τελετάÏχες funeral home to propose, badges, always, in families, instead of wreaths and flowers, to enhance the nursing homes of the Metropolis, which “agony”!
Features indicating, inter alia: “we Recognize the supply of the foundation, but the economic crisis has brought to the difficult situation in the operation of Ecclesiastical Institutions”
The circular, which today presents the filodimos.gr, is very clear as to the directive, as the ban only applies to the Sacred Temples. That is, if the family wishes to place a piggy bank in the house or to the place that offers coffee, of course, is free to do so.
Ambrose strikes again: “DON’t collect money for the SMILE OF the CHILD…” [photo]
