With the city burning behind you and the enemy shooting at you from both sides, you’re faced with only one option. You jump into the water and swim for your life. Is this a bad dream? It’s time to finally learn the truth of the Peacemakers! “. . . a moving story, . . . unique and personal, so familiar and yet entirely unparalleled, especially inasmuch as it reflects the precious history of the Orthodox Church in this part of the world.” - His All Holiness, Bartholomew Please R.S.V.P. to Georgea Polizos at the AHI by September 21, 2014 at 202-785-8430 or via email at [email protected]. |
