9 | Abbot Ephraim, as a person of the Church, is respected and “worshipped” by many faithful Christian believers, who all this time have expressed their solidarity and support through social media, as this page on Facebook, this blog [website is currently down] and the Twitter account @GerontasEfraim [no longer existing] demonstrate. | Ny pretra Ephraim, amin'ny maha tompon'andraikitra azy ao amin'ny fiangonana, dia hajaina sy arahin'ireo mpino kristianina marobe, izay tsy nitsahatra naneho ny firaisankina sy ny fanohanana ny pretra nandritra izany fotoana izany tamin'ny alalan'ny valantserasera, tahaka ny asehon'ny pejy Facebook, ny bilaogy [tsy mety misokatra ny tranonkala ankehitriny] ary ny kaonty Twitter @GerontasEfraim [efa tsy misy intsony]. |
