Metropolitan Dorotheos of Syros called on believers to pray for release of hostages

“Let us pray to God with piety and hope for the release of the crew abducted and held hostage in Cameroon and Djibouti,” said Metropolitan Dorotheos of Syros, Tinos, Andros, Kea and Milos.

The Metropolitan, during an event at the Town Hall of Ermoupoli in Syros, called on local authorities to expresses their heartfelt support and sympathy to the families of the hostages and to pray for their release.

As he told ANA-MPA, “I am worried about them and have been praying from the first day of their abduction. I travel with sailors every day,  and therefore, I understand their anxieties, dreams, and their suffering. I sympathise with their families who, in these Holy Days, live in fear and feel anxious.”
