The following video is a reply by Archbishop Irenaios of Crete following the various criticisms and responses to his encyclical regarding the use by clergy in his Archdiocese of the social networking site "Facebook".
Because the lecture is in Greek, the reader can refer to other sources I posted in the comments section here of my response to this issue.

Archbishop Irenaios of Crete Clarifies his Encyclical
For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.
Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.
This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.
If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.
Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.
Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
