Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christians of Greece
Revision as of 12:44, September 26, 2008 by Criostoir1971 (talk | contribs)
The Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christians of Greece is an Old Calendarist body (one of the 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. 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 any of the autocephalous Churches. Its current primate is Archbishop Chrysostomos II (Kiousis) of Athens and All Greece.
