Alerted by church bells, thousands swarmed to welcome him back. The Ecumenical Patriarchate supposed at first that Eirinaios himself had staged the kidnaping. Not so, insisted the captive bishop. He told TIME last week: "Only after I recovered from the initial shock and saw the sufferings of these people did my soul yield...
