Description:

Until now, Georgirenes has been best known for having established the first Greek Orthodox church in London in Soho, and for publishing a detailed account of the condition and practices of the Orthodox church living under Ottoman rule. For the first time this biography reveals the extraordinary further adventures of this much-travelled priest.

Review Quotes: This book or document is in any case also a truly European story. There-fore, it should not only be read by theologians, historians, but also by today's sociologists and even politicians.
(Chris Vonck, Acta Comparanda 3/2018)
