Archbishop Makarios of Australia received Australian journalist Alan Jones, in the central offices of the Holy Archdiocese of
Sydney on Saturday.
Mr Jones received a tour of all the areas of the Archdiocese, including St Andrew’s Theological College and the Holy Cathedral of the Annunciation of the Theotokos.
He was also provided with extensive information about the ambitious works launched by the Greek Orthodox Church within the scope of the redevelopment of its central headquarters in Redfern. In addition, Mr Jones had the opportunity to meet with the staff of the Theological College, and was informed about the Cathedral’s history by the Parish Priest, Archimandrite Christophoros Krikelis.
This was followed by a private meeting between the Archbishop and the journalist, where issues of common interest were discussed in a cordial atmosphere. After the meeting, the Archbishop thanked Mr Jones for his visit and gave him an icon
of Christ as a blessing.
