It is with great joy and enthusiasm that we await the Assembly of our Brotherhood the Most Reverend Bishop Burundi & Rwanda Mr Innocent , on Sunday 13 March at 10.30am at our hall, 6 Mackenzie King. You are all invited, both to the Synaxis and to the gathering that will precede it in the Holy Church of St. John the Baptist (Pavlou Mela Street).
Both in Burundi and in Rwanda they embraced Orthodoxy with great love. In seeking to explain why, and without claiming infallibility, I concluded that this is because our mission is relatively new in the sense that it started operating after the war, so we are, in a way, indestructible. Each of our outings is an event of special significance to them, so the reception they give us is moving. They are simple-minded people, most of them without any appreciable education – and this is to be expected, since the war was a catalyst for the development of their lives – and for all their simplicity, their questions about the teachings of our Church, its mysteries, holy persons and religious traditions are anything but simple.
