Many many thanks to all those who contributed to match a generous $3000 donation from an anonymous donor. The goal was attained this past weekend. It is because of people like you that the Mystagogy Resource Center can continue to offer unique material to all for free on a daily basis that I hope people find beneficial. For those who still wish to contribute, please do so, with much gratitude in return. God bless you all!

A joint meeting of representatives of the Inter-Orthodox Relations with the Holy Synod of the Church of Greece was held today, Wednesday March 16, in the Synodal Hall.

The committee consists of the Metropolitans Meletios of Nicopolis (Chairman), Ignatius of Dimitriados, Chrysostomos of Messinia, Bishop John of Thermopylae and Prof. Martzelos.

Information from "Romfea.gr" indicates that after thorough discussion, they decided that the Church of Greece will continue participating in the World Council of Churches and other inter-Christian forums.

Please note that, despite recent statements by the Metropolitans of the Church of Greece to withdraw from the WCC, it was finally decided to have more comprehensive information from the Hierarchs and the fullness of the Church.

Lastly, at this time the Holy Synod is meeting with teachers of the Theological Schools.
