Bishop James and Rochester Cathedral have been pleased to welcome Canon Pastor Hosam Naoum from Jerusalem Cathedral to the Diocese of Rochester.

Canon Pastor Naoum said, ”I am here to visit the Diocese of Rochester and spend a week at the Cathedral.   I have come to learn about how the Cathedral here is run and how we can benefit from the ministry here.  I really appreciate the hospitality I have received from Bishop James and everyone at the Cathedral.  It was good to have him preach in the Cathedral in Jerusalem during his recent trip to the Holy land.  On behalf of my Cathedral, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all Christians.   Perhaps you could offer prayers for peace in Jerusalem and for all who dwell in it.”
