The Patriarchal Exarch for Africa, Metropolitan Leonid (Gorbachev) of Klin, called on Orthodox youth to serve in the new parishes of the Russian Orthodox Church, which are being created on the African continent, Interfax-Religion reports.
Speaking at a press conference in Moscow about the presence of the Russian Orthodox Church in Africa, the hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church noted the uniqueness of the current situation. “For us, this is history, and now we are forging this history together and making it with our hands,” he said.
The Patriarchal Exarch invited young people to directly participate in the creation and development of new Orthodox parishes in Africa. “Extra hands will never hurt. (...) We will warmly welcome every person who wants to work on the African continent,” said Metropolitan Leonid.
As the UOJ reported, clerics of the Exarchate of Africa will become novices in Russian monasteries.
