Orthodoxy and Hellenism continue to persevere in one of the remote corners of sub-Saharan Africa. Archimandrite Timotheos Duba, of the Alexandria Patriarchate, continues to minister to a handful of Orthodox faithful at the parish of St. Nicholas, in the eastern Congo town of Bunia.
The parish over the weekend organized a soup kitchen for abandoned street children and children with hearing impairment. Spoons were also widely distributed, as many children have never used utensils, but only their fingers.
