In the afternoon on Tuesday, October 25, 2022, His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and his entourage were escorted to London Heathrow International Airport by His Eminence Archbishop Nikitas, the Very Reverend Archimandrite Nephon Tsimalis, the Greek Ambassador Ioannis Raptakis, and Mr. Güneş Yeşildağ, Deputy Head of Mission of the Turkish Embassy. The departure of His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew concludes a historic and successful celebratory visit to the United Kingdom. The memorable five-day trip—coloured by the personal pastoral concern characteristic of Patriarch Bartholomew—afforded many faithful of the Archdiocese the opportunity to receive the blessing of their Ecumenical Patriarch and to hear his paternal words of encouragement.
