The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia is carrying out a fundraiser to support the earthquake victims of Turkey and Syria, Archbishop Makarios announced in a statement.
The Archbishop, urged the members of the Greek Australian community, the Orthodox Christians and the wider community to offer their support in view of the titanic struggle to stem the humanitarian crisis, which is already threatening millions of people living in the vast expanse of the earthquake-stricken areas.
In his message, Makarios asks “The God-Loving Bishops, the holy Clergy and the Christ-loving People of the local Church to turn to the All-Good God with fervent prayer for our fellow human beings who are experiencing the tragic consequences of the earthquake”.
The Archbishop has also appealed for the provision of financial assistance to those affected through a direct fundraising account opened by the Archdiocese of Australia for this purpose.
