Dear friends,

Two weeks now, we in the Theosophical Society in Greece, are under extreme pressure. The Summer Conference of the T.S. in Greece to take place in few days, has caused a lot of talking. But today the situation has exceeded every logical limit. The Bishop of Alexandropolis gave an interview during the morning, and also tonight a  30 minutes on a TV channel, accusing us of satanists and saying things that I prefer not to describe.



The Bishop of Alexandropolis also published an encyclical, against the conference which  is on every Christian web-site and was

published on newspapers.  



It was decided by the T.S. in Greece to request  police protection when we arrive on Alexandropolis and in Samothace Island.



You can see the program of the conference at this link: http://www.theosoph y.net/events/ the-kabeirian- mysteries

Below is a translation of part of the encyclical, which has a total of three pages, and the original in Greek is on the following web-sites:

INSTRUCTIONS 



The BISHOP OF ALEXANDROPOLIS ANTHIMOS 



TO THE CHRISTIANS OF SAMOTHRACE  



My dear brothers and sisters, 



Residents of the Island of Samothrace, 



I turn to you to beg your attention to protect yourselves against the

consequences of a Conference on the Kabeirian Mysteries, those terrible

mysteries ended 2000 years ago, which today some Pagans are trying to

revive it.  We can only make assumptions about what

happened during the Kabeirian ceremonies, because as in the other mysteries of

the ancient world, the initiate was not disclosing what happens, because

people would not accept their ways of worship. 



The Theosophical Society in Greece, from 26 to 28 June, will hold a Congress in Samothrace Island,

to initiate  people on the Kaveiria Mysteries. The

emblem of the Theosophical Society are two triangles, a swastika, a Ouroboros a

snake that swallows its own tail, an evil Egyptian cross, and a secret group of

Hindu words. The main Âmotto of the Theosophical Society is that ÂThere is no

Religion Higher than TruthÂ. 



The question is: 



Are these people futile? We know that only to refer to the

ÂKaveiriaÂ, reduces any intellectual capability they may have. 



Havenât they learned the truth answered by Jesus Christ when he taught ÂI am the truthÂ.



Its our moral obligation to ask: 



v Who invited them to our site, causing the piety of the Christian inhabitants

of the island? 



v Who hosts the home of our five compatriots Martyrs; 



v Who invited them to the island of Virgin Krimniotissas? 



v Who wants to blind the eyes of  Apostle

Paul of Samothrace? 



We will continue to bring pilgrims to wishful Island, of all the world to

deepen in the first step made by the Apostle Paul in Europe and bring the

message of the Gospel. 



The Theosophical Society is against Christianism who has built hundreds of

churches on the island.

The Theosophical

Society is: 



v An occult organization that uses methods of Eastern religions, 



v tries to overcome barriers of religions and to create a universal

brotherhood, thorugh: 



1.        studying comparative

religions and philosophies, 

    2         investigatings the laws of nature and the hidden

forces of man. 



Understand, then, ladies and brothers, how poor is for us Christians, these

aspirations of the supporters of Theosophical Society, who came to the place of

the blessed Virgin Mary from the sacramental blood of Five New Martyrs,  to

offer us to go back! To return to the past! To return to the Kaveirian mysteries. 

A dead past to us. We want the light, we who live under the

light and the grace of Christ. We do not need the secretive interpretations, nor false Occultism. We have the gospels of our churches, and is only the freedom of our wishes, which determines our

relationship with God. 



We monitor these reactionary efforts, not to encourage violent

events with them, but because of the war against us, so pray to God to illuminate to find

the victory of the Gospel given on life and death. 



So, my Christian brethren, I urge you to disregard the suspected ÂTheosophical

Society which comes to our place to try to mislead our intellect by claiming their

searches. They are coming forward to us with bloody and immoral ways to worship

God. 



But I also call your attention to any vandalism that occurs in our churches or

chapels. And then the responsibility will fall heavily on those who have

invited or accepted the realization of this pagan conference on the island. 



The Bishop of Alexandropolis



Alexandroupolis ANTHIMOS â



best wishes,



Erica
