On Saturday, May 11, 2024, the Holy Theological School of Halki had the pleasure of hosting a delegation from the School of Theology at the University of Athens. The delegation, consisting of fifty professors and students, was led by Professor Marios Koukounaras Liagis. They actively participated in the Divine Liturgy that took place at the school’s church.
After the Divine Liturgy, the group was warmly welcomed into the Great Synodikon of the School by Bishop Kassianos of Arabissos, the Abbot. During his address, Bishop Kassianos shared valuable insights into the history and significance of the institution. The professors and students were then given a guided tour of the school’s historic classrooms and prestigious Library.
In addition to hosting the delegation from the University of Athens, Bishop Kassianos also graciously received other visitors throughout the day. This included members from the Thessaloniki Theatre Group and representatives from the University of Marmara, led by Professor Ekrem Topuz.
