The Holy Eparchial Synod of the Church of Crete expresses the sincere condolences and sympathy of the entire local church, to the family of the scientist Suzanne Eaton, who was murdered a few days ago while on the island as part of an International Conference at the Orthodox Academy of Crete.
In a relevant announcement, the Church of Crete declares its “uncompromising support to the relatives and colleagues of the late Suzanne, a scientist of recognized and international prestige, with a great contribution to research and science, but also with particular love for Crete.”
The Church also congratulates the police headquarters of Crete for its decisive contribution in solving the case immediately.
It stresses once more the need for “absolute respect for the sanctity of the person and the value of human life,” and emphasizes “the urgent duty of every person to assist in every way in the peaceful coexistence and the true community of all people, based on mutual respect and dignity.”
