Christ is risen! Dear Mr. President, allow me, after having addressed to you and the dear Brotherhood the resurrection blessings, to inform you about the publication of the New Testament in Swahili. After a search here in Dar es Salaam we found a copy published by the Bible Society at the price of 2.5€ while in Greece it is priced at 4€. So if you agree you can send us the appropriate amount of money to supply a sufficient number of copies of the New Testament in Swahili which we will distribute to Orthodox families. I can also assure you that we will print in Swahili the relevant preface which will show that the New Testament is offered by the Holy Metropolis of Irinople of the Patriarchate of Alexandria and furthermore that it is sponsored and offered by the Mother Missionary Brotherhood. I also want to thank you for the effort and expenses of publishing a Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom in Swahili by your Brotherhood, for the effort and expenses. However, I wish that the light of the Risen Lord illuminates all of you and gives rich missionary fruitfulness to our Brotherhood.
I exist with heartfelt heartfelt wishes
†The Bishop of Irinople Demetrios
Small comment: We believe that it is an important contribution to the work of the Orthodox Mission to publish and send liturgical Kekkonen and Orthodox books for the spiritual edification of the Orthodox. That is why we undertook the publication of the Divine Liturgy and the New Testament in Swahili, a local language spoken in Tanzania.
