В прошедшие выходные Брисбен посетил владыка Георгий и рукоположил сначала в диаконы, а потом и в иереи, прихожанина англоязычного Благовещенского прихода Эрика Фейна.
Отец Эрик родился в США в религиозной протестантской семье. Он служил в Американских ВВС, но ушёл из армии чтобы продолжить учёбу.
После переезда в Аделаиду по работе, Эрик пришёл к Православию и там же он и его семья приняли Крещение.
В 2014 году они переехали в Тувумбу, Квинсленд где стали одними из основателей православной общины, которая впоследствии станет православной миссией имени святого Иоанна Крестителя. С 2019 года учится в православном институте святых Кирилла и Мефодия. После рукоположения он будет служить в родной общине в Тувумбе.
