/* Patriarchal Visit
*1991: Fifth National Youth Conference (Greek Orthodox) held in Adelaide.
*1991-94: Schism occurs from Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia. [[Church of Jerusalem|Patriarchate of Jerusalem]] accepts schismatic parishes and begins jurisdiction in Australia. Great protests from Archbishop Stylianos and Patriarch [[Bartholomew I (Archontonis) of Constantinople|Bartholomew]] ensue, culminating in an expanded Greek-speaking synod and the excommunication of the bishops that went to Australia. Jerusalem withdraws from Australia, parishes form, in the case of the followers of Bp Paul of Christianopoulos, or else join old-calendarist synods.
