Anastasios Tamis, researcher and Professor Emeritus of the History of the Greek Diaspora, spoke about the enduring importance of radio in the Greek communities abroad, as well as the event held in Melbourne to mark World Greek Language Day. He joined Voice of Greece radio on the program “Our Global Voice” with Dimitris Kontogiannis.
Mr. Tamis concluded with a reference to the efforts of the Greek Orthodox Church in Latin America to resist assimilation into the local culture — which in many respects resembles Greek culture — and to the competition it faces from the Antiochian Orthodox Church (Syrian-Lebanese communities).
