He is also a graduate of the School of Dentistry and the School of Theology, at the University of Thessaloníki, where he completed his Masters Degree with Professor Demetrios Tselengides. Today, Fr. Savas is the spiritual father of the Holy Monastery of the Holy Trinity in the Diocese of Edessa, in northern Greece. Fr. Savas works tirelessly teaching and guiding the faithful not only in his diocese or in Greece, but, indeed, through the online homilies and lectures, the world over, wherever the rational sheep of Christ are thirsting for the Word of God and the Gospel. In addition to nearly daily homilies during Divine Liturgy, which are uploaded to the internet, now numbering in the many hundreds if not thousands, Fr. Savas is also a prolific author, penning more than 11 books. - - - - - A Four-Part Interview: 1. In this first segment we will address the Temple and whether or not the faithful need to fear becoming sick therein. 2. In the second segment, we address the all-important matter of having a spiritual father during these times of trouble and persecution. 3. In the third segment, we discuss a wide-range of matters pertaining to how we must live in a spiritual manner in face of this great challenge to our Faith. 4. And, in the fourth segment, we look at the challenge to the Orthodox Faith from contemporary Ceasaropapism and innovative ideas about the Holy Things in the Holy Temple. Due to pleas from the faithful, we will air the fourth segment next and then return to the second and third afterwards. We are sure that these interviews, with the ever-vigilant Fr. Savas, offered with much love and sacrifice to you, the pious, zealous faithful, will undoubtedly be quite profitable and enlightening! - - - - - The Greek original: https://youtu.be/2wshHkYXGN0 Utilize the Orthodox Ethos Podcast Interactive Transcripts!: -- https://oe-transcripts.now.sh *For all who would like to support The Orthodox Ethos, donations can be made via Paypal at the following link: -- http://paypal.me/FrPeterHeers Share and Subscribe to the OE YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/c/OrthodoxEthos OE WEBSITE: https://orthodoxethos.com UNCUT MOUNTAIN PRESS (UMP) Website: https://www.uncutmountainpress.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/frpeterheers Twitter: https://twitter.com/frpeterheers Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/frpeterheers/ Amazon Author Page: https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B00Y938IQ2 Postcards from Greece Podcast: https://saintkosmas.com/heers-postcards-from-greece/ Academia: https://hts.academia.edu/FrPeterHeersDTh LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/frpeterheers/ Books: https://www.uncutmountainpress.com/books/the-ecclesiological-renovation-of-second-vatican-council--english/ https://www.uncutmountainpress.com/books/missionary-origins-of-modern-ecumenism/
