Archbishop of Lattaquié (Melkite Greek)
The references to the elementary dynamics with which the salvation promised by Christ spreads throughout the world were highlighted in the homily delivered by the Patriarch during the divine liturgy he presided over on the occasion of the episcopal ordination of Georges Khawam, a native of Aleppo and belonging to the Society of Missionaries of Saint Paul (Paulist Fathers), who on August 17, was chosen by the Synod of Bishops of the Patriarchal Church of Antioch of the Greek-Melkites as Archbishop of Lattaquié (Latakia), in Syria.
