         <content:encoded><![CDATA[These were the words of Saint Dioscorus, the Champion of Orthodoxy and 25th Pope of Alexandria concerning our Saviour. We remember our father who reposed on the 7th of Tut (17th September) at this time, not just because of his feast, but because at this time of year we remember the Saints and Confessors who suffered for the sake of the Cross.

         <content:encoded><![CDATA[“Fire has various characteristics: it can be a productive energy or it can be destructive enemy, the difference is control. Those of you who have seen various types of fire fighting would also know that there are two types of fire: a controlled burn and an outright blaze. A controlled burn is that which is directed in a certain way to assist and minimise damage, where as a blaze is that which becomes uncontrollable, undirected and destroys.”
