Mi-a plăcut cum a legat Episcopul bucuria nunții împărătești de bucuria pe care o simțim noi la fiecare Liturghie. Să le ajute Bunul Dumnezeu să-și ridice și ei biserică adevărată cât mai curând.

It's good they could use the school hall for the Liturgy. I liked how the bishop tied the joy of the king's wedding feast straight to what we feel at every Divine Liturgy. May God help the parish in Mwanza build their own church soon.
