QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

IN THIS NEW SECTION WE POST YOUR ANSWERED QUESTIONS EITHER ON THE CONTENT OF THIS SITE OR ON ORTHODOXY - IN GENERAL

 

WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEND AS A QUESTION?

[1] I am a student of cultural studies from Slovenia and I am doing my final paper in Greece about women's and mens' monasticism in Greek Orthodox Church. I am claiming that monasticism in Greek Orthodox  Church is increasing. To prove this I would need a data about the number of monks and nuns in Greece for last 50 years. I was allready searching very much and it seem there is no archive, which would hold this. Maybe you would know, if there exists some statistics about the number of monks and nuns, as well of the monestaries. Where is possible to find it.

I would be very grateful for any answer of yours and any kind of direction.

Thank you very much.

Yours sincerely,

Justini Drobni

Α[1]    Dear Justini,

At first we apologize for having delayed this reply. We trully hope you will succeed in finishing your paperwork, if not already.

As to your request, we suggest you to search at the Library of Apostoliki Diakonia,

1st Iasiou str., Athens, tel.+30 210 7272341, and ask for "Diptyxa tis Ekklisias tis Ellados", an annual tome which contains all the churches of Greece and the monasteries with the number of their monks and nuns.
