Shalva Kekelia, the Spiritual
Father of Tbilisi Theological Academy and Seminary, once again
emphasized the dedication of His Holiness and Beatitude to the
nation and his merit in the establishment of Tbilisi Theological
Academy and Seminary. Therefore, the professors, teachers and
students are grateful to him. Archbishop Shalva called the whole
nation for the consideration of the work done throughout his
incumbency by the Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia, who had
begun to govern the Church in the circumstances of the closed doors
of the churches.
