Theophilos and his bishops did not attend the banquet hosted by President Moshe Katsav because he was not invited in his capacity as the leader of the church. Instead the invitation referred to him merely as a “bishop”.
“Let us work together to replace despair with HOPE, fear with human SECURITY and humiliation with DIGNITY”
