The Parish–Community of Saint George in South Brisbane welcomed the visit of Bishop Themistocles of Nicopolis from the Patriarchate of Alexandria, who is currently in Brisbane under the pastoral care of His Grace Bishop Bartholomew of Brisbane.
Bishop Themistocles delivered a special lecture on “The Last Times,” attended by Bishop Bartholomew and Father Athanasios Athanasiadis.
During his address, Bishop Themistocles encouraged the faithful to remain steadfast in their faith and love for Christ during difficult times, reminding them that Christians should live not in fear but in hope, keeping their focus on salvation.
He expressed heartfelt thanks to His Eminence Archbishop Makarios of Australia for his blessing to visit Queensland and to Bishop Bartholomew for hosting the event.
Concluding the evening, Bishop Bartholomew thanked Bishop Themistocles for his uplifting message and urging the congregation “not to focus on the ‘last times,’ but rather on our relationship with Christ and with our fellow human beings.”
