Bishop Kyriakos of Melbourne meets with Roman Catholic Archbishop Peter Comensoli

·

His Grace Bishop Kyriakos of Melbourne from the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia (GOAA) recently shared a fraternal lunch with The Most Reverend Archbishop Peter A. Comensoli, Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne.

In attendance was also the Very Reverend Dr Cameron Forbes, Rector of Corpus Christi Seminary — a leading institution for the formation of Catholic clergy in Victoria and Tasmania.

The meeting provided an opportunity for dialogue on issues of shared concern, including theological education, pastoral formation, Orthodox-Catholic marriages, and the broader challenges faced by Christian communities in an increasingly secular society.

Bishop Kyriakos conveyed the warm regards of His Eminence Archbishop Makarios of Australia, particularly in light of the recent election of the new Pope of Rome.

As a symbol of goodwill, Bishop Kyriakos presented Dr Forbes with an icon of Our Lady of Yellow Rock, which will remain at Corpus Christi Seminary for public veneration.
