Greek Orthodox Archbishop of Beirut Elias Audeh lamented on Thursday the divisions among the Lebanese people, saying that politics has corrupted them and Lebanese society.

 

He said: “The Lebanese people have not learned that their divisions will only lead to the destruction of all sides.” He made his remarks during a mass commemorating the eighth anniversary of the assassination of MP Gebran Tueni held at St. Georges Church in downtown Beirut. “We miss your honest stances that had Lebanon at heart,” he said.

 

“You resisted oppression and spite and rebelled so that you became a role model for youths who dream of justice and freedom away from sectarianism,” he stated. [Link]
