” “On 16 and 17 June, the leaders of the Greek-Orthodox Church in Cyprus will be received by Benedict XVI in Rome. It was said to SIR by Georgios, bishop of Pafos, today, while he met the ecumenical pilgrimage promoted by Brevivet from Brescia. 21 journalists and diocesan delegates for ecumenism and the pastoral of tourism are taking part in it. We shall go "to ask for Benedict XVI’s help in relation to the drama of Cyprus’ division. For our Christians, it is difficult to go to the churches in the Turkish and Cypriot area. The churches added Georgios that have been deconsecrated, abandoned or changed into mosques, deposits or cattle sheds are several hundreds". The Cypriot delegation will be led by the archbishop of Cyprus, Chrisostomos. On greeting the ecumenical pilgrimage, Georgios recalled "the importance of dialogue, and he exhorted the audience to overcome diversities to witness unity before Europe and the rest of the world".” “
