Linked below is an extremely important video, which discusses the rise of Modernism and Ecumenism in World Orthodoxy. It was the EP Meletios Metaxakis who unilaterally insisted that the New Gregorian Calendar, a common date of Easter, and Ecumenism be spread throughout Orthodoxy. It was also he who ordered that priests no longer wear facial hair and cassocks, but instead adapt the Anglican clerical business dress.
St. Nectarios of Aegina fought against these Modernistic notions while serving as Dean of the Rizarios Ecclesiastical School (Athens). While Meletios Metaxakis, a noted freemason, was Archbishop of Athens, he visited the island of Aegina where St. Nectarios lay close to death and treated this holy saint with great disdain. After the death of St. Nectarios in 1920, Metaxakis forbade the clergy and laity from giving him a proper funeral and burial.
In this video, Fr. Theodoros Zisis, Emeritus Professor of Patrology and former Chair of the Department of Pastoral and Social Theology at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, presents his thoughts on the ten themes of the Great Council of 2016.
