Priest Georgy Maksimov is making another missionary trip to the countries of the Patriarchal Exarchate of Africa. The first in the route is Ksenia.
On June 25, Priest George visited the parish of St. Lazarus of the Fourth Day, where he took part in a meeting of the clergy of the Central Deanery. At the meeting, the accumulated issues were resolved and ways of developing church life in the region were outlined.
In addition, another priest who had transferred from the Patriarchate of Alexandria was accepted into the bosom of the Russian Orthodox Church.
Priest Parthenius, who joined the Central Deanery of the Exarchate, was given the antimins, the holy myrrh and the priest's cross.
At the end of the meeting, Father George distributed to the audience the following rite of the Liturgy of St.St. John Chrysostom in Swahili and held a pastoral conversation with the parishioners of the community in honor of St. Lazarus.
