Archimandrite Themistocles, better known as Father Themi, is an Australian born cleric of the Patriarchate of Alexandria. A gifted and renowned speaker and educator, he is well known in Orthodox Church circles in Australia, and for a time was a well respected member of the academic staff of St Andrews Greek Orthodox Seminary, Redfern in Sydney. Father Themi subsequently felt called to serve as a missionary and travelled to Kenya where he now supervises a number of projects for the Greek Orthodox Diocese there.
Father Themi will present a film about Orthodox missionary work in East Africa, particularly in his Diocese of Kenya, and will give a talk about his work after which there will be an opportunity to ask questions. The talk will be followed by a supper and an opportunity to speak informally with Father Themi.
