CHURCH The Assumption of the Virgin Mary Greek Orthodox Church in Galveston has posted photos of their "Galveston Nisiotes" - a Greek Dance Troupe performing at the Galveston Heritage Festival on its website. In one of the photos, a "Dimitri Pagourtzis" is listed in the photo caption. The suspect's mother's Facebook page also includes a similar photo of the same Greek dance troup.
What I read is a very lapsed Orthodox Christian or a "cultural Greek Orthodox"--attending Church functions more for Hellenic culture than for Christianity.
Under "social media" in the article:
Pagourtzis describes himself as an atheist for religious views, and "I hate politics" for political views.
.....What I read is a very lapsed Orthodox Christian or a “cultural Greek Orthodox”....
What you REALLY mean is a “cultural Greek”—NOT an Orthodox Christian of any kind except a former/lapsed one!!!!
Unfortunately, our beloved Serbian Orthodox priest has been emphasizing Serbian culture and language before the Orthodox Christian faith lately. He may well be taking his cue from our also beloved Serbian Patriarch who is afraid that his American flock will lose the use of the Serbian language.
It is true that there are large sections of the Serbian Orthodox Church in certain parts of the US where most of the faithful have lost the Serbian language, or never had it in the first place. But it is the Orthodox Faith that saves us—not any particular culture!!
It is good, however, to support the Serbian people and the people of other predominantly Orthodox nations who are undergoing persecution and calumny, often perpetrated by Western elites!!
Meanwhile, this trench-coat wearing (a la Columbine) mass-murderer is in no way Orthodox Christian. If he had been imbued with the Orthodox Faith, he almost certainly would never have embarked on his murderous spree!!!! This is despite the sorts of propaganda that I expect the professional Orthodox Christian haters to spew over the next several weeks!!
