Archbishop of Australia: Greek language remains a ‘living reality’ for Australia’s diaspora

Archbishop Makarios of Australia addressed the opening of the 12th International Summer University on Greek language, culture and media, stressing the enduring role of Greek in the Orthodox faith and Australian diaspora. He thanked organizers and noted Greek’s continued importance in family, cultural and religious life.

Archbishop Makarios of Australia attended and addressed the opening ceremony of the 12th International Summer University, titled “Greek Language, Culture and Media – The Greek Language in Australia: From Memory to the Future,” on Tuesday, September 8.

The academic and cultural program is being hosted at the University of New South Wales in Sydney from September 6 to 11, 2026.

At the beginning of his address, Archbishop Makarios thanked the Organizing Committee for the invitation and congratulated those responsible for the initiative, particularly Professor Tsitsanoudis-Mallidis, Dean of the School of Education at the University of Ioannina and founder and academic director of the program, as well as Professor Vassilios Adrahtas, head of the Greek Studies Program at the University of New South Wales.

He also expressed his gratitude to President of the Hellenic Republic Konstantinos Tasoulas, under whose auspices the event is being held.

Archbishop Makarios focused on the close relationship between the Greek language and the Orthodox faith over approximately two millennia.

“They have journeyed together not as ‘parallel lives,’” he said, “but as realities and values intertwined ‘without confusion, without change, without division and without separation,’ creating the unique edifice of ‘Romiosyni,’ which has offered universal civilization so many achievements and values that remain timeless and unsurpassed.”
