Abstract

Philantropy or disinterested love for the human being has always been the vocation not the purpose of the Orthodox Church. If it is not efficient and visible, this is either due to the unknown facts i.e. intentional lack of publicity or because who is not a practicant Orthodox Christian does not find the reason to love beyond material limits. Alternatively, the large population who live on social provisions shows that they rely on the unknown benefactors whoc will always provide, out of religious reasons.
