The Archdiocesan Council of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia (GOAA) convened in Sydney, on Thursday, April 24, under the chairmanship of His Eminence Archbishop Makarios of Australia.
This was the first meeting of this collective body of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia following the Apostolic Visit of His Holiness, the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, to Australia.


At the beginning of the meeting, His Eminence Archbishop Makarios warmly thanked all members of the Council for their contribution to the successful organisation of the events for the centenary of the local Church and the historic Patriarchal Visit.
Furthermore, the Archdiocesan Council examined issues related to Greek Orthodox and theological education, while studying the progress of the reconstruction of the building facilities of the GOAA in Sydney.
