The year we left behind was special for everyone individually but also for the country as a whole and the Church.
During this time, we tried to deal with all the events that concerned Orthodoxy and politics, in general.
Orthodoxtimes.gr has already completed a year (in October 2021) and continues actively, thanks to our efforts but -mainly- thanks to the engagement of our readers.
We were pleased and proud to announce in the summer that we managed to inspore the interest in the -difficult- audience of the Orthodox Church with great success in its first year of operation, as the official data show.
Our goal, of course, is to maintain and increase our readership without minimizing the quality, honesty and integrity we hope we represent through the articles we publish.
It was not a few times that we had to get into conflict with anachronistic journalistic—and not just that—tactics and mentalities, but we can only feel satisfied as this gave us the opportunity to “stand out” without deviating from our course.
This course is known to the reading public internationally with orthodoxtimes.com entering its fourth year of operation in 2022.
The English-language version of our journalistic effort Tihas stood out from the very beginning of its operation as a “counterweight” to the effort to spread fake news in the area of the Orthodox Church and in the war that exists throughout the Greek Orthodox Church, with most recent typical example is the illegal “invasion” in the Patriarchate of Alexandria.
The people behind orthodoxtimes.gr and orthodoxtimes.com will continue to operate without restrictions and “directions,” doing what their journalistic status dictates, which they have had for many years: we publish news directly, validly, based upon documented evidence.
We wish you all a happy new year with the Lord blessing and enlightening us. In 2022, we hope that you achieve your goals, you are healthy and we leave once and for all this nightmare of the pandemic.
Happy New Year!
Efi Efthimiou
