On Saturday the 11th of January at the Church of Evangelismos in Perth, Western Australia his Grace Bishop Elpidios of the Diocese of Perth, together with the Very Rev. Father Emmanuel Stamatiou conducted the Baptisms of 12 people including 3 children of the one family. The Sacrament was conducted following a period of 12 months instruction into the Orthodox Faith.
The Church continues to experience strong demand and interest in the Orthodox Faith with a steady stream of young people seeking true Christian Apostolic Orthodox origin and holy tradition. Whereas adult Baptisms in the past have been conducted on an individual basis, the number of people now seeking to become Orthodox has made it necessary to conduct multiple Baptisms at the one time in the future.
