Warm Hearts Reach Across Philoptochos To Provide Aid One of the great strengths of a national organization is its unique ability to provide assistance locally , regionally and nationally. A recent case in Cranston, Rhode Island is the perfect example of this collaboration. A woman whom we will call Anna traveled from Greece to America to receive medical treatment for a complicated condition. After surgery, she suffered a severe setback, necessitating an extended stay in the US. Fulfilling their mission to help those in need, Philoptochos stewards from the local Philoptochos chapter , the Metropolis of Boston Philoptochos and the National Philoptochos —three tiers of the Greek Orthodox Ladies Philoptochos Society – came together in support of Anna. According to local Philoptochos Social Services Chair Bessie Papigiotis , “Our chapter is the Good Samaritan .  We try to live up to our name, so we sprang into action.”  Led by President Georgia Pappas , the ladies investigated ways t...

(Jenny Starrs/The Washington Post) PHOENIX — Just before President Trump strolled onto the rally stage on Tuesday evening, four speakers took turns carefully denouncing hate , calling for unity and ever so subtly assuring the audience that the president is not racist. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson proclaimed that “our lives are too short to let our differences divide us.” Alveda King, the niece of Martin Luther King Jr ., led everyone in singing a few lines of “How Great Thou Art .” Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed for the politically and racially divided nation and asked the Lord to shut the mouths of “those in this country who want to divide, who want to preach hate.” And Vice President Pence declared that “ President Trump believes with all his heart … that love for Amer...

Doran’s gang ambushed Frank ‘Boss Gambler’ Flynn and two of his brothers in February 1884, triggering an exchange as deadly as the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Most people who traveled to Hot Springs, Arkansas, in the 1880s did so to soak in the mineral baths in hopes of improving their physical health. Not so Samuel Alexander Doran , native Kentuckian and ex-Confederate major. In late fall 1883 Doran , who seldom visited a place without having some kind of confrontation (often deadly), was en route from New Orleans to the spa town in the Ouachita Mountains in hopes of improving his financial health. A dishonest gambler willing to back his card play with gunplay, Doran had broken the law in a string of towns from Kentucky to Texas. He had left more than a few places on bad terms and was lucky to have spent relatively little time behind bars. It was in New Orleans that Doran had met Jim Lane. Lane had owned and operate...
