Changes

Since the fall of Communism, the Russian Orthodox Church has also been very active in sending missionaries around the world. Orthodox churches under the direction of the Russian Patriarchate or of the Ecumenical Patriarchate have been founded in the following countries in Asia: South Korea (where there is a native clergy), the Philippines, China, Hong Kong, Cambodia, Indonesia (Father [[Daniel (Byantoro)]]), Pakistan (Father Joseph Farooq), India, Thailand, Singapore. The Orthodox Church is also actively growing in Central and South America, especially in Cuba, Mexico, Haiti, and Guatemala. The case of Guatemala is particularly noteworthy: 200,000 Guatemalan indigenous natives mass converted to the Orthodox faith under the spiritual guidance of the charismatic social justice figure, Father Andres Giron. There is currently an Orthodox orphanage in Guatemala City ([[Hogar Rafael Ayau]]) run by the [[Monastery of the Holy Trinity (Guatemala)]], as well as a medical clinic in Aguacate. The Greek Orthodox Bishop of Australia, [[Amphilochios Tsoukos]], who previously served in the Congo, has established churches in Oceania, including New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga, and Samoa.
