Another mass Baptism was celebrated in Tanzania recently. Group Baptisms have been a common occurrence throughout Africa for years now.
This latest group of catechumens received the washing of regeneration at the hands of Bishop Agathonikos of Arusha and Central Tanzania of the Patriarchate of Alexandria, reports the St. Dionysios of Olympus Missionary Center.

“Let us all pray that our newly illumined brothers and sisters remain steadfast in their faith and that God opens new paths, so that as many of our brothers and sisters as possible may come to know the Truth of the Gospel and Orthodoxy!”
Bp. Agathonikos has celebrated many such services, bringing numerous catechumens into the Church, including in July 2023.
In other parts of Tanzania, 132 people were baptized in April, and 34 in July.
