Trikorfo - A group of Greek Orthodox monks whose rock music has stormed the Greek charts have offended Greece's conservative Holy Synod.
The "Free People" group of 15 monks of the Saints Augustine and Serafeim Sarof monastery high in the hills of central Greece last year released a CD called I Learned to Live Free. In contrast to Byzantine chant, it was rock and roll accompanied by lyrics that struck out at big power, globalisation, drugs, conformity and the new world order.
