header-bg-engIn the past few weeks, since 60 Evangelical and Orthodox leaders met in Albania for the second Lausanne-Orthodox Consultation on the theme “The Mission of God”, news of the event has slowly spread around the world. We are aware of reports appearing in India, the USA, Serbia, Finland, Romania and several other places.  The Serbian Orthodox Church news service reported our activities on their website early this month and in Finland the Orthodox website Filantropia gave a full report.  The Navigators have also reported on the event with a link to our full consultation communique whilst the Indian Orthodox Malankara Keralite Malayali Syrian Church website encourages readers to follow our website for more news.  In the Middle East Linga have published news of the consultation in Arabic. We continue to look for new ways of sharing the good news of our positive encounters over the past two years.
