"During the speech on climate change by former President of the Victorian Association of Science Teachers, Artemisia Bennett, from the parish of Saint Dimitrios Moonee Ponds, Archbishop Makarios was heard to exclaim: ᾽Καλά τους είπε,᾽ as a recording of one of climate activist Greta Thunberg’s speeches was played, in which she castigated world leaders for their greed and inactivity!"
"-The implication was clear: Whatever anyone thinks of Thunberg’s politics or the manner in which she campaigns, she is a brave agent for policy reform, and on an issue that is of dire importance for us all, as the leader of the Church, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomeos has pointed out for decades in his writings on the environment. This quality, the ability to call out injustice and without fear, advocate for change, was at the centre of the Youth Conference, whose key theme was: “Change: How do we navigate ourselves in a diverse world.”
