A great man is one who collects knowledge the way a bee collects honey and uses it to help people overcome the difficulties they endure - hunger, ignorance and disease!

Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.

Др Едвард В. Рајан – лекар спасилац Београда
Увод
Подвизи и легендарна достигнућа америчког лекара и хирурга пуковника др Едварда Рајана, шефа мисије америчког Црвеног крста (American Red Cross) у Србији током Првог светског рата, готово да су остали непознати и заборављени.
Његов чудесни живот представља грађу за узбудљив авантуристички роман или за сценарио каквог холивудског спектакла. „Рајан је био дивљи борбени Ирац који је без прекида скакао у ватру... Апсолутно неустрашив, коцкајући се смрћу, урадио је велики посао високо држећи у руци блиставу бакљу америчког доброчинства“, записао је у својим мемоарима Џон Гејд, први амбасадор САД у балтичким земљама, сликајући његов портрет.

Essays on Existence and Communion, Eros and History
by Christos Yannaras
The collection of articles traces the thought of Christos Yanaras through his long journey in discovering the meaning of existence, communion, eros, and history. It is a cause of immense joy that no fewer than twenty articles of passionate significance and substance have at present been gathered together in this volume under the title The Meaning of Reality.
Yannaras is undoubtedly one of the most significant thinkers of our time. Kallistos Ware once described him as "the most creative and prophetic religious thinker at work in Greece today," while Rowan Williams characterizes him as "one of the most significant Christian philosophers in Europe." His very wide and no less deep education helps him to develop an inimitable blend of philosophy, theology, and social criticism, and to speak in an original way about the traditional and contemporary issues of human existence, as well as the latest challenges of modern empirical science and political engagement. A detailed knowledge of the writings of the Holy Fathers has always been his foundation amidst the labyrinth of modern thought - which is inimately bound up with psychoanalysis, environmental issues, human rights, postmodernism, and pluralism , to mention just a few. Insistence on the primacy, uniqueness, and eternal value of human personality prevails in almost all his works and inspires his own vigorous theological and ecumenical engagement, based on the Orthodox eucharistic and ascetic tradition.
