While I was in Indonesia in October of this year, I was given many opportunities to share about the Orthodox Faith and to encourage the local, faithful, Orthodox parishes. I’d like to briefly relate one occasion while I was visiting Fr. Antonios of St. Anthony the Great Community in Salatiga, a university town, on Java.
Fr. Antonius has close relationships with all the churches in his area. There are many Dutch Reformed Calvinist churches in Salatiga, as it is their Indonesian headquarters. Fr. Antonios has a good relationship with one of their pastors, who had also heard me speak in the ’90s. The pastor invited me to give a seminar on Orthodoxy and to preach at the Service.
