“You are taking on this ecclesiastical responsibility at a difficult time on a global level,” said Archbishop of Athens Hieronymos
The Archbishop of Athens and All Greece expressed the belief that the ministry of Archbishop of Cyprus George will be “in every way useful and fruitful”, especially in ecclesiastical issues concerning the identity and unity of the church and which touch on the destiny and meaning of human existence Jerome during his address at his enthronement ceremony.
“You are taking on this ecclesiastical responsibility at a difficult time globally,” he said.
“Of course, one could say that human things are always more or less characterized by instability and fluidity. But the fluidity of modern culture with its digital progress is unprecedented,” he added.
He went on to say that “a new world image has now been created completely secularized in relation to the so-called traditional. This worldview affects everything and especially our perception of people”.
It is no coincidence, he noted, “that many argue that we have now entered the age of the metahuman.”
According to him, “this fluidity and variability do not leave the traditional Christian way of life unaffected. A new pervasive religiosity seeks to establish itself, new habits are also adopted by Christians”.
In addition, he added, “you also have to deal with the consequences of the Turkish invasion of 1974 which remain incurable.”
“Walking in the footsteps of your great predecessors who were characterized by genuine ecclesiastical ethos and patriotism and relying on the grace of the triune God, I believe that your ministry will always be useful and fruitful especially in ecclesiastical matters. Issues that concern the identity and unity of the church and that touch on the destination and meaning of human existence”, he noted.
“With these few thoughts I wish you every success in your high mission. Worthy,” Archbishop Hieronymos said finally.
