The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Canada mourns the falling asleep in the Lord of Bishop Christoforos of Andida. The Bishop left this temporal world today, February 14, 2020. He was 89 years old.
Archbishop Sotirios, as a member of the Holy and Sacred Synod, was at the Ecumenical Patriarchate, and when he learned of the falling asleep in the Lord of Bishop Christoforos, spoke with Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew during the meetings of the Holy and Sacred Synod, about the life of the Bishop, calling him a “Man of God,” and remarking on his many contributions as both a priest and bishop in Canada. The Archbishop then went down to the Patriarchal Church of St. George to lit a candle for the repose of the soul of Bishop Christoforos.
