From Australia- Christian Post-
The Anglican Bishop of Delhi, the Right Reverend Sunil Kumar Singh, is on a goodwill visit to Melbourne that the Anglican Church hopes will encourage closer ties between the churches and cities of Melbourne and Delhi.
Bishop Singh, who is the guest of the Archbishop of Melbourne, the Most Reverend Dr Philip Freier, will preach in St Paul’s Cathedral this Sunday, 2 May, at 10.30am. Members of the Indian community are especially welcome.
The bishop’s visit will last until 11 May. During his stay, Bishop Singh will visit the Brotherhood of St Laurence, meet other community leaders and offer Bible Studies to local clergy. Discussions will include the possibility of clergy exchanges and sharing experiences about living harmoniously in multicultural and multifaith societies.
Dr Freier said: “This is a friendship visit to strengthen relations.
“Our Churches initiated contact well before recent publicity about attacks on Indians in Australia. However, recognising the anxiety this has caused, both here and in India, Bishop Singh’s visit is very timely..”
Bishop Singh’s background is as a parish priest in rural areas. Bishop Singh was born on 15 June 1957. He was ordained as a priest in the Diocese of Delhi on 5 December 1982. He holds the degree of Bachelor of Arts from the Delhi University (1978) and a Bachelor of Divinity from the Senate of Serampore College (1982). He was also awarded the Westhill Diploma in Church Management in July 1995 from Westhill College in the United Kingdom.
