Church of Greece Holy Synod acknowledges Ecumenical Patriarch’s canonical right to grant Tomos of Autocephaly

A three-day session of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople’s Holy and Sacred Synod begins on Thursday at the Monastery of the Holy Trinity on the small Marmara Sea isle of Halki.

The Patriarchate’s Holy Synod comes a day after members of the Church of Greece’s permanent Holy Synod voted in favor of acknowledging the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople’s “canonical right” to grant the Tomos of Autocephaly to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

Holy Synod members also recognized Archbishop Ieronymos’ right to oversee the handling, on the part of the Church of Greece, of the contentious and complex ecclesiastical issue involving the Ukrainian Church.
