Observations by the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America On Mel Gibson's film THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST

February 27, 2004
The recent release of Mel Gibson’s film, “The Passion of the Christ,” has evoked significant reaction from people of all faiths across America and throughout the world. In part, the controversy stems from the fact that the film, which focuses almost exclusively on the last hours of our Lord’s earthly life, makes use of extremely graphic violence.

Hellenic College/Holy Cross - Winds of Change on the Holy Hill

March 2, 2004
For over half a century, the campus of Hellenic College and Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology has been called the “Holy Hill” in tribute to its elevated purpose and elevated site. The institution’s purpose has been clear and unwavering from the beginning: to provide the best possible education for future priests and for those committed to lay careers informed by Orthodox Christian principles. Regrettably, that mission has not been widely known outside HCHC’s own close-knit community. As for its magnificent 52-acre hilltop site just outside Boston, which commands spectacular skyline views, it has long been one of the city’s best-kept secrets. ...Read Full Text >
