In greece they've outlawed the methodist church

Your claim is patently False!!! Father George (Methodist) has even started a Kosovo outreach program from Thessaloniki in Greece.

As for your comments about the Armenian Christians - nothing could be further from the truth! 99.9% of Armenians either died in the genocide committed by Turks or have left many years ago.

Finally, the reason that some Eastern Orthodox Christian countries are resistant to proselytizing by other Christian denominations (Roman Catholics for example) is that it is simply not needed. Why would one Christian group want to evangelize another Christian group? Why not evangelize the unchurched instead?

why thank you for correcting me; I read several years ago that methodist church had been considered a cult and restricted in greece, perhaps info I read was false or incomplete; The article mentioned armenian orthodox, I just used them as example; I know they were victims of genocide in 1910-1915.

You do not subscribe to the principle: you simply choose camps.
