Metropolitan of Attica

The throne of this metropolis has been vacant since 2005, when the former Metropolitan Panteleimon was ousted by the Synod amid charges of financial and sexual scandal. Metropolitan Ierotheos of Limnos has since been reported to be interested in seeking a transfer to Attica.^{citation needed} The church is awaiting a decision by the newly enthroned Archbishop Ieronymos of Athens.
