A glance around the world

LETTERS, MONOGRAPHS, CONFERENCES, SEMINARS, TRAVELS

The Didaskaleion center, aiming to promote dialogue and evangelization, developed during the years rich and fruitful connections with several Christian Communities scattered throughout the Holy Land and the World.

In the last years of his life, Rev. Piero Ottaviano deeply felt the calling to contribute, in his own ways and within his own possibilities, to the evangelization of Turkey.

This courageous and far-seeing commitment paved the way for a fruitful collaboration between the Didaskaleion Center and the local Christian Communities: we’ll report below some moving testimonies of this collaboration.

Other than the letters received by these distant communities, in this section of the web site you’ll find interesting documents, conferences, sages and monographs covering several topics: a real “windows” opened to the external world, in which we kindly invite you all to take a glance.
