The '''Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christians of Greece''' is an [[Old Calendarist]] body (one of the [[Florinites|Florinite]] jurisdictions) which in 1935 broke from the [[Church of Greece]] over the latter's use of the "new calendar," also known as the [[Revised Julian Calendar]], a hybrid calendar using the Gregorian method of dating for the immovable feasts and the Orthodox [[Paschalion ]] for the dating of the movable feasts. The adoption of the new calendar is viewed as an assault on the ecclesiological beliefs of the Church, in that it promotes common worship with heretics to further the goals of syncretistic Ecumenism, while sacrificing liturgical unity among all Orthodox Christians. It is not in communion with the mainstream Orthodox Church. Its current [[primate]] is Archbishop Chrysostomos II (Kiousis) of Athens and All Greece.
