Athanasios of Lemesos... the next Archbishop?

Postby Niyaz2137 » Thu Aug 17, 2006 11:45 pm

Do ya'll think he'll be the next archbishop?

I mean... he's a living saint... and what Cypriots and the whole Church of Cyprus needs in this world

But as archbishop, people will no longer be able to personally access him

So what do you think?

well... he wouldn't be one to know... he doesn't even want to be Archbishop.

Which is probably why he'll win.

He always seems approachable and has not had the problems attached to the Paphos bishop. When is the vote? Don't think I'll be in Cyprus but just in case thought I'd ask - might be an idea to take my white book.

:shock: :shock:
:lol: :lol: :lol:
that was exactly my comment on the same topic on the coming elections

........

sometimes i believe that this is very dangerous. people do actually believe in things like that. he is really able to cause unconditional faith to his person , and that is very dangerous imo. i mean he is candidating for a a position and people honestly believe that he doesnot want that position!!!! :shock: :shock: :roll: :roll:

being against blind faith as a matter of principle , this whole "saint" picture build around athanasios personality , pushes me away.

Pray to God to show you who is the right one to become the Archbishop of Cyprus.

I have recently been to Mount Athos (Agio Oros) with another 37 people from Pafos and all the monks there told us that Father Athanasios is the right candidate for the position of Archbishop. They told us that God will guide Cypriots see that it is him they have to vote for. Amen!

Niyaz if you don't mind me asking, what are you?

Judging from your nick name I thought you are Turkish Cypriot but this post of yours confused me.

i must admit that i dont like priests , and i dont support any bishop. the more the time for the electios is approaching all the bishops are showing their true face and character :roll:
but since we are talking about a specific person :

i just visited the above website. "father" athanasios could inform the team that supports him , that the above title they chose is kind of misleading. unless , "father" didnt want that website to be created and he has no clue about it :roll:
