Η εξαγγελία του ευαγγελίου στον 21ο αιώνα
(Ομιλία Αρχιεπισκόπου Καναδά Σωτηρίου στη Σύναξη των Αρχιερέων του Οικουμενικού Πατριαρχείου – Σεπτέμβριος 2021)
By Archbishop Sotirios of Canada
Before we start discussing how we should go about proclaiming the Gospel in the 21st century, we first need to remind ourselves what the Gospel really is. The Greek word euangelion speaks for itself. The Gospel is the Good News. It conveys the message of the salvation of humankind through Jesus Christ. The Gospel proclaims humanity’s return to the paradise which was lost. The Gospel enables nothing less than the deification of man. Those who hear the Gospel and apply it in their lives enjoy a secure path of return to the Kingdom of God. They will be deified. The Gospel is the true word and promise of the God-Man Christ. The Gospel embodies “words of eternal life.”
