Re: Synod of the Patristic Calendar of the Church of Hellas (GOC-A)

Makarios of Athens was elected Archbishop of Athens by the Lamian synod in 2004.

Re: Synod of the Patristic Calendar of the Church of Hellas (GOC-A)

The GOC-A was created by the late Bishop Anghelos of Avlona who left GOC-Makarios. Why did he leave GOC-Makarios? Was it an official justification of this?

Re: STOC and ROCANA, an ecclesiology of anarchy

If I am not mistaken, bishop Andronik is the senior bishop of ROCANA (other bishops are Andrei in Australia and Sophrony in Saint Petersburg).

What do you mean by, bishop Andronik has never acknowledged that his parishes went to the Moscow Patriarchate. Which concrete action did you expect from him?

I would like to know how that works if one is married with children before becoming orthodox if after baptism is a remarriage ceremony necessary?

I also agree with the sentence fro...
