The Turkish government has decided to reopen the minority primary school in Imvros, Turkey. This school has been closed for about half a century and His All Holiness has openly said his thanks for the decision to re-open the school on the island. The Patriarch continues to urge parents to send their children to this school stressing the significance of the re-opening. “Divine Providence has a future, and potential and Resurrection for us in store, not the end, and damage and loss”, said Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew from his homeland, Imvros. Perhaps this change of heart is a sign of the re-opening of another significant icon of freedom in the near future such as Halki Seminary. http://eu.greekreporter.com/2012/01/20/ecumenical-patriarch-welcomes-decision-to-reopen-school-in-imvros/
