Archbishop of Cyprus Chrysostomos II visited on Monday the Theological School of Chalki, in the framework of his official visit to the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
He was welcomed by the Bishop of Moschonisia and Halki’s Abbot Apostolos. Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew guided Chrysostomos to the School.
Welcoming the Archbishop, Apostolos described his visit as an historical one, since this is the first visit of a Primate of the Cyprus Church at least in the last 100 years.
He also said that Chrysostomos’ visit underlines the very close bonds between the two Churches, while he also noted the fact that many Cypriot clergymen were educated there.
On his part, the Cypriot Archbishop noted the School’s great contribution to the Church of Cyprus, since until today many of its graduates offer their services to Cyprus’s Church.
He also expressed the wish that the School will soon reopen.
