Over the last twenty-eight years, Fr Vasileios has spread this message beyond the borders of Mt Athos by participating in, and speaking at, theological meetings, youth conferences, and gatherings of the faithful. The present series of "essays" (in reality, speeches edited for publication) is an attempt to bring the English-speaking public more of the "fresh vision of theology, Church, and the world" offered by the Holy Mountain through the original yet genuinely traditional voice of Fr Vasileios.
The second text of the series entitled "Europe and the Holy Mountain" was a talk given in Luxembourg for the employees of the European Union in May, 1992.
