HISTORICAL COURSE OF THE CHURCH OF CHRIST UNTILL 2000 A.D.

PUBLISH OF THE SAINT TRINITY'S PARISH OF G.O.C.  IN NEW YORK, ASTORIA




NOTES 




2016: Metropolitan Gregory reposed in the Lord in 2009. New First-Hierarch of the Genuine Orthodox Church is- at the embassy of pontificate - the Metropolitan of Thebes and Levadia Chrysostom; the Athonite.

Three Hierarchs of our Church are outside of ecclesial communion, and we expect their repentance and the return of them to the body of the Church. These are the former Metropolitans: Mr. Chrysostom Metropoulos of Thessaloniki (2002 for heresy), Mr. Kosmas Skretas of Triki. (2011 for ethical issues) and Mr. Philotheos Tourtounis of Larissa (2015 error from the right).

Former Archbishop Andreas died in 2005. Shortly before his death, "Bishop" Mr. Kirykos Kondogiannis seceded and created "Synod" with old- calendarist Romanians (and Cypriots who seconded their communion with Andrehites). Today "Archbishop" of the Neo- iconoclasts Andrehites is former clergyman Mr. Stefanos Tsakiroglou.

Supporters of Kyprianos of “Filly” ( those in Resistance), after his death, joined the faction of Chrysostomos Kiousi. Current Archbishop of Florinites is Mr. Callinicos Sarantopoulos.

The faction of Mr. Ephraim of "Boston" (HOCNA) was dissolved due to scandals and the heresy of Name- worshipping. The through majority joined to the jurisdiction of Kallinikos Sarantopoulos while the others, under Ephraim, joined the Florinites of the another faction of "Archbishop" Mr. Makarios Kavvakidi, successor of "" Mr . Kallinikos Chaniotak of Fthiotis.

The Afxentians (Maximus died, etc.) are dissolved and groups that exist are minor and exclusively to survive New Calendarists.

Athanasius of "Acharne" died alone.

Athanasios of "Larissa" joined to Chrysostomos Kiousi.

Chrysostomos Kiousis died in 2010 and they assumed "Archbishop" Mr. Callinicos Sarantopoulos.

In the Jurisdiction of Kallinikos of "Fthiotis" (Florinite schism in 1995) is "Archbishop" Mr. Makarios Kavvakidis. From this group are fallen away: Nephon of "Piraeus" Angel of "Avlona" and Christopher of "Mesogaia".

The faction of Ierotheos (Kindinis) is dissolved. There was splitting in his successors. Theses are ridiculous groups engaged in quackery.

Akakios of "Attica" returned to the "Synod" of Kiousis in 2003.

The "Portugueses” (Evloghios of "Milan" etc.) are dissolved and groups that exist are minor and exclusively to survive New Calendarists. These are ridiculous groups engaged in quackery and have multi- dissolved in point of extinction.

Finally, developments are expected in the area of the E​cumenism- New Caslendarism - this year when it is expected to convene a "Pan-Orthodox Synod".
