“In difficult situations where force must be used, the human heart should not be ensnared by passions and anger inspired by evil spirits. Only by conquering evil in our own hearts can we use force for the sake of justice. This is why the Orthodox Church takes special care of the armed forces, seeking to offer them the strength of the true faith and the resilience that comes from a genuine spiritual life.”
(Metropolitan Evangelos of the US Greek Diocese of NJ)
