His Eminence Archbishop Makarios of Australia led the Doxology service marking the start of the new Law Term in New South Wales at the Cathedral of the Annunciation of Our Lady in Redfern, Sydney on Tuesday, February 11.

The service was attended by Their Graces Bishop Iakovos of Miletoupolis, Bishop Christodoulos of Magnesia, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of NSW The Hon. Andrew Bell, members of the judiciary, lawyers, law students, and the Consul General of Greece in Sydney, Ioannis Mallikourtis.

Students from Saint Spyridon College and clergy from the Parish of Saint Spyridon also participated.

After the service, Archbishop Makarios extended his best wishes to the judiciary officials for the new Law Term, emphasising their role in upholding the rule of law and protecting citizens’ rights and freedoms. He encouraged them to find strength and inspiration in Christ as they carry out their duties.

A reception followed at Saint Andrew’s Theological College, where Chief Justice Bell praised the Archdiocese for instituting the Doxology celebration, noting that many members of the judiciary in NSW are of Greek descent and devout Orthodox Christians.

He also highlighted the importance of mutual respect and equality in Australia’s multicultural society, regardless of religion, language, or origin.

The Chief Justice thanked Archbishop Makarios for his steadfast support of the Doxology service and congratulated him on the impressive renovation of the Cathedral of Sydney.
