His Eminence Metropolitan Athenagoras of Belgium and Exarch of the Netherlands and Luxemburg

I am the Metropolitan Athenagoras of Belgium and Exarch of the Netherlands and Luxemburg. My role is to stand by my flock in all difficult times. Today, living through  climate change and an extreme decrease in biodiversity that approaches mass extinction, my responsibility is even greater. My goal is to raise awareness and activate our church, with all means that are available to me. My goal is to help limit this sad development that changes to a great extent our planet and our lives. I commit to doing this, always along the lines of our Green Patriarch, His All-Holiness Bartholomew I, from my position as the responsible representative of the Orthodox Church to the EU.
