Abstract
The study of the journal, named Porefthedes (Go Ye) emphasizes its historic contribution to the transmission and intake of the Gospel’s message worldwide. Additionally, it resulted in the recrudescence of Greeks’ interest in The Mission. The current Archbishop of Tirana and all Albania Anastasios was the founder of this journal. The former, Porefthedes, arose from the processes of “Syndesmos” (Association) in 1959, and was published from 1961 up to 1969 under the care of the “Inter-Orthodox Missionary Centre Porefthedes”, setting the foundations for the revival of The Mission. This paper’s first attempt is to record the journal’s publishing history and secondly to describe the publication process of the journal Porefthedes (artistic elaboration, linguistic means) and to investigate the specific features of the editors (transmitters); it also provides facts concerning the readers (receivers). Moreover, the theological documentation of the Orthodox martyria (message) has been recorded, divided into thematic categories.
