GOC-Kallinikos: Who are they? What is their history?

Post by Maria »

I have started this thread to explore the GOC-Kallinikos objectively, so that our guests and inquirers can have an opportunity to learn more about the Genuine Orthodox Church of Greece under Metropolitan Kallinikos. Any inflammatory accusations will be promptly moved over to the Intra-TOC Polemics Private Forum.

Since other True Orthodox jurisdictions will be explored in their own threads, please keep all your discussions in this thread focused only on the GOC-Kallinikos jurisdiction.

Below are some questions. Please feel free to provide links and excerpts from official sites as references.

  1. What is the history of the GOC-Kallinikos?
  2. Who are their former hierarchs and leaders?
  3. Is the GOC in communion with any other True Orthodox jurisdictions?

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

The GOC-K is in communion with the ROCOR-A (ROCA under Archbishop Agafangel of Russia)

Hard to believe that it has been 10 years since Met Demetrius was elected as the metropolitan of america.
