Your Bliss,

Permit us, in my personal name, as well as in the honor and return of the people to the Diocese of Australia and New Zealand under the MOC-OA, with all our hearts and from the top of our hearts we honor the Holemiot of the Anniversary - four years since your consecration to the episcopacy rank

Ignore 40 years, and this debt will be fulfilled with many warnings, grievances and temptations.

The bottom of your long-term service, your spiritual children, in you we recognized a man with a strong faith, a golem against his people and tatkovina, but also with a sincere grizh for Tsrkvat.
