It’s good that Bishop Iakovos not only met with the Greeks and the embassy, but also visited the Armenian bishop Pedros Manvelian. In times like these, it is important that the Orthodox and ancient Eastern churches stick together, especially there in Latin America. I wonder how our communities in Venezuela are living now.

It is good that Bishop Iakovos visited Armenian Bishop Pedros Manvelyan. In Caracas it is really important for the churches to stick together, especially when the Greek community there is small. I wonder if they managed to discuss joint assistance to our parishes in Latin America.

It’s good that Metropolitan Iakovos visited Bishop Pedros Manvelyan in Caracas. In our church they often say that in Latin America communities need to stick together, especially when the Greek community there is small. I wonder if they managed to talk about joint assistance to our parishes.

Good thing that Metropolitan Iacovos also met with Armenian Bishop Bedros Manvelian in Caracas. It is important to stick together there, especially since there are few Greeks. I wonder if they also talked about concrete help for parishes in Latin America.

It’s good that Bishop Iakovos visited Bishop Pedros Manvelyan in Caracas. In Nizhny, after services, they also often say that in Latin America communities need to stick together, especially when the Greek community there is small. I wonder if they managed to talk about joint assistance to the parishes.
