Debt crisis puts pressure on wealthy Orthodox Church
27/06/2011
The wealthy Greek Orthodox Church is under pressure to do more to help the country while it struggles through a debilitating financial crisis.
As Greek faces a dire financial crisis and risks defaulting on its debt, many are calling on the Orthodox church to take less and give more.
The Greek Orthodox Church owns property worth some €700 billion – more than double the country’s national debt. And yet it is the struggling Greek state that pays the salaries and pensions of all the Orthodox clerics in the country.
