The message that we must keep our word on education and our national issue was sent by Pafos Metropolitan George during his visits today to the Pafos and Geroskipou Community Volunteerism Councils (CVCs).
The Church, he said, is close to the youth, the Youth Centre of the Paphos Metropolis is functioning and he announced that he intends to set up Centres elsewhere so that our young people can be kept away from addictions and places where a psychotropic situation is created.
He said that the Youth Centre apart from the donated dance , music and computer classes that are delivered, has a gym with modern gymnastics equipment so that students can also exercise. We know, said the Metropolitan of Paphos that, "sport is something that keeps young people away from psychoactive situations and we would like to expand as we have already done in our camp with various sports fields and expand this healthy occupation of our youth" .
We have in mind, he stressed, to create elsewhere the libraries we created in Paphos and to gather our cultural wealth to show young and old what our tradition is.
He also pointed out that "this tradition which we received from others should be handed over to other generations so that they do not forget what the course of this place is". He also assessed that every Archbishop and every representative of the Church must give a national speech, noting that Cyprus has not yet been freed from the Turkish invader, our rights have not been fully restored and we cannot but keep our word on education and our word on the national issue.
When the country is free , he continued, when our rights are fully restored and a man will have one vote, will have freedom of settlement everywhere, freedom to acquire property everywhere and to move throughout Cyprus, then this role for the national issue the Church will place it on the shoulders of the government, which will be democratically elected and there will then be no danger of being diverted from the course of our issue.
The Metropolitan of Paphos set out his vision in the context of his visits due to his candidacy for the Archbishop's throne of Cyprus, noting that the Church is always the refuge of those in need, either financially or in need of moral and spiritual support and will be there for them.
