Sir Michael Llewellyn-Smith - "A.A. Pallis, from Greek abroad to Greek in Greece"
Abstract: The talk will introduce the life and work of A.A. Pallis, son of the Alexander Pallis whose translation of the Gospels caused such scandal. A.A. Pallis described himself as a Ξενιτεμενος Ελληνας. His work carried him from Manchester and Liverpool to Egypt, Greece and the Balkans, and throughout the Near East, in the service of Britain, Greece and the League of Nations, and the tasks of refugee resettlement between the wars.
