The Archbishop of the Autocephalous Orthodox Church of Albania, Joan Palushi, was today invited to Prime Minister Edi Rama's "Flasim" podcast.
Edi Rama: We have very old acquaintances and we have talked about these topics while walking in the evenings on Myslym Shyri Street until after midnight. We are talking about the 80s and it was not even thought that we would go out into the free world and be free to practice religion.
You had a very simple, resonant sentence, that I will become a priest.
It actually happened, but the reason I brought it up here is that we never had the opportunity to speak with the same freedom, where did that certainty come from?
Archbishop Joan: I come from a very large and non-Christian family, at that time no faith was practiced. It was not a conversion.
When I read the Gospel for the first time, in my 4th year of high school, something happened deep inside me.
The joy of childhood returned to me. In that moment, my life changed.
I was also fortunate to meet people who had access to such books. The conviction to become a priest was born then.
