Fr Protodeacon Evangelos Lu resides in Shanghai. According to Abp Hilarion of Sydney, until recently, he had no contact with other Orthodox. When Fr Vladimir Boikov paid a visit to Shanghai to meet with the Orthodox, Fr Evangelos was persuaded to come and received Holy Communion.

As he is advanced in age, he is currently not prepared to receive catechumens or unfamiliar Orthodox visitors.
