Re: The question of Grace: Matthewites vs Kallinikites

Re: On the Panteleimon question

"..he do not want be a Matthewite...." Why ? Because Auxentios Pastras was a defrocked and deposed Matthewite Archimandrite since 1947, later the leader of the Akakian-Florinites. This may be an explication. More than likely, as the GOC was known to make candidates wait up to three years ...
