While torrential rain poured down outside, five candidates were confirmed on Sunday 21 November 2021 at St John the Evangelist Deryneia. Archbishop Michael also received a candidate already confirmed in another mainline Christian tradition into full communion in our Anglican Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East.

All were presented by Fr Peter Day, retired priest at St John’s with Permission to Officiate, and Clive Lawford, Reader. The Anglican congregation of St John has full use of the Orthodox church of St Phanourios, which was full for the occasion.
