On Monday, July 22, the Formal Election Announcement (Mega Minima) for the new Chorebishops of the Holy Archdiocese of Australia, who were recently elected by the Holy and Sacred Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, was held at the Holy Church of Saint Spyridon in Kingsford, Sydney.
During the service, the election of the new Chorebishops was announced in the church: Bishop Elpidios of Perth, Bishop Silouan of Adelaide, Bishop Kyriakos of Melbourne, Bishop Evmenios of Charioupolis, and Bishop Bartholomew of Brisbane. They responded with a statement of thanks, accepting the “mandate.”
Present were Archbishop Makarios of Australia, clergy of the Holy Archdiocese, members of the Archdiocesan Council, as well as devout faithful, all of whom, after the conclusion of the service, congratulated the newly elected Chorebishops and offered them appropriate wishes.
