It is a great blessing for us that our Orthodox Church in Indonesia is gaining another minister. Fr. Chariton comes from this island and is a graduate of our Theological School.

It is true that the writing of the Acts of the Apostles that Saint Luke left as a legacy to Christians and especially to missionary people is valuable. It not only informs us historically about the spread of the Gospel which was carried out in every – God-allowable – way and at every cost by the Apostles, but it makes the “Acts of the Apostles” a model and a missionary manual for all of us who are more or less active in this ministry…
Countries with great natural wealth but at the same time extremely poor. Not in the sense that the world gives to poverty, but in the ontological and spiritual sense. Places with hidden “treasures” in their bowels, but mourning in Truth and awareness…
