We, the Rector of Tbilisi
Theological Academy and Seminary, the members of the Academic
Council and the Dissertation Committee, teachers, professors and
members of the administrative board, express our absolute support
to His Holiness and Beatitude, Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia,
and unequivocally denounce the intentional campaign of slander
which has lately taken place in such impertinent and insolent
manner against the Spiritual Father of the Georgian Nation, the
Holy Synod and the Church of Georgia. We are convinced that the
hostile forces shall not realize their intention to discredit the
merit and contribution of the foremost hierarch of the Church of
Georgia to the Church and the Georgian Nation.
