This is an update from a previous report here.
On Saturday, 12 September 2009, Metropolitan Amphilochios of New Zealand ordained the first native of Fiji, Bartholomew, to the diaconate in the Holy Monastery of the Archangels in Thari on Rhodes.
He will return to his native land to undertake a mission among his people.

This is wonderful news! I know ROCOR has been active too in the Pacific and South East Asia and has a growing mission in Indonesia. God bless the new deacon!
