He completed his secondary education in Benoni and graduated from the Greek school of the local Hellenic community. He studied theology at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki on a scholarship from the Ministry of Education of North Macedonia.<\/p>\n<p>He was ordained a deacon on January 1, 2001, by Patriarch Petros VII of Alexandria, and in August of the same year was ordained a priest by Metropolitan Seraphim, who at that time was Metropolitan of Johannesburg and Pretoria of the Patriarchate of Alexandria.<\/p>\n<p>In 2005, he was appointed personal secretary of the Patriarchal Office by Theodore II, Pope and Patriarch of Alexandria and All Africa. He later served in several Orthodox communities in South Africa and was actively involved in the Patriarchate of Alexandria&#8217;s missionary work.<\/p>\n<p>On October 9, 2019, he was elected Bishop of Kisumu and Western Kenya, and at the session of the Holy Synod of the Patriarchate of Alexandria on October 7, 2025, at the proposal of Patriarch Theodore II, he was elected Bishop of Gaborone and
