Metropolitan George of Pafos referred to his visions at the meeting organized on Sunday by the Coordinating Committee to support his candidacy at the Cultural Centre of the Municipality of Polis Chrysochous.
Metropolitan George of Paphos said that the church is the refuge of those in need. He also announced that he will support young couples so that they can combat under-birth rate and have third and fourth children, and that he will stand beside the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
We will, he continued, "have a voice on the national issue, and we will stand by the government in its efforts to stem the tide of illegal immigrants," while noting that "he will establish a special department in the Archdiocese to be able to deal with the new dilemmas coming from life sciences and biotechnology."
Moreover, the Mayor of Polis Chrysochous, Yiotis Papachristofi, who attended the meeting, said that the Metropolitan of Pafos as a ward of Polis Chrysochous had known him much more as the Chorepiscopal Bishop of Arsinoe and subsequently as the Metropolitan of Pafos. We believe, he said, "that he is the only one of the candidates who has always expressed himself on various issues of the Church and the State."
He was the only one, continued the Mayor of Polis Chrysochous, who spoke and speaks about our national issues, immigration, under-generation and young people. Papachristofi also estimated that the Metropolitan of Paphos will be worthy of his predecessor, the late Archbishop Chrysostomos II who carried out a great work and called on the people to support him.
The meeting was also addressed by Hellenic Socialist Party MP Elias Mirianthous and former Director of Secondary Education Xenia Tzanavarou.
