Deutsche Welle: The Greek Orthodox Church is using the Olympic Games in Athens as a catalyst for change. The church has been criticized as stuck in the past, but during the games church leaders have said they will hold religious services for all athletes. The Greek government has also moved to accommodate other religions and constructed the country's first mosque prior to the games.
