The metropolitan went on to Aleppo to meet the kidnappers, and successfully negotiated the release of the 2 kidnapped young men. Now that we have been informed that the metropolitan himself with his brother, bishop of the Greek Orthodox Church have been kidnapped and so far there is no news from them or demand by their captives.
Our discomfort, anguish and anxiety is beyond words. We are constantly on the phones since the news has reached us, and can only pray to God to help and encourage His Eminence and his brother bishop, so they can handle the ordeal.
