Which Synod is This Monastery With?

Post by drewmeister2 »

Anyone know which Synod this monastery is with? http://impantokratoros.gr/14726ACB.en.aspx I couldn't find any info about bishops, but they are clearly anti-ecumenism.

If I had to guess, I'd say the "State Church of Greece". (But I could be wrong.)

Thank you, Father. But they have a lot of anti-ecumenism articles on their site, so if they are New Calendarist, how can they have those articles?

We must always be cautious, reguardless of what they display on the internet. if you look on their links, there is a link to St.Anthony`s monastery in arizona(state new calendarists)- I would have to agree with Fr.Mark.

One does not necessarily preclude the other....

Perhaps they think they will change the direction that their hierarchs are leading them. I was guessing because of the links page. I later took a look at some of the anti-ecumenism writings and didn't see anything i haven't heard from the followers of Elder Ephraim. Some people can live that kind of double-minded life, condemning a known heresy, yet communing with heretics. . . I can not.
Again, I don't know this monastery, but was guessing. If they have cut themselves off from the State Church of Greece then glory to God and may He strengthen them to continue to walk-the-talk.
