Greek Orthodox patriarch: World remains silent about missing bishops

Members of the clergy hold candles during a vigil at the Balamand Monastery in Koura, Lebanon, June 22, to pray for the release of bishops kidnapped in northern Syria. Orthodox Metropolitan Paul of Aleppo and Syriac Orthodox Metropolitan Gregorios Yohanna of Aleppo were kidnapped April 22, 2013 in northern Syria while on a humanitarian mission.

BEIRUT - Commemorating the second anniversary of the kidnapping of two Syrian bishops, the Greek Orthodox patriarch lamented the indifference of the international community about their fate.
