The Holy and Sacred Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate declared its full support for the Patriarchate of Alexandria and Patriarch Theodore, “in its just struggle (the Patriarchate of Alexandria) for the canonical order”.
That’s according to the Orthodox Times.
At today’s meeting, the Synod decided to register the new Archbishop George of Cyprus in the diptychs of the Church, while Ecumenical Patriarch Jeremiah I and the monk Gerasimos Mikragiannanitis, the Hymnographer, were rewarded with the ranking of a Saint.
He also promoted the Bishops Chrysostomos of Rodostolo, Theodoritos of Elia, and Dimitrios of Xanthos to acting Metropolitans.
