ΟΧΙ στη Σύνοδο κι από Εκκλησίες Γεωργίας και
Αντιοχείας!
Άκυρο και από την Εκκλησία της Γεωργίας για την Αγία Σύνοδο
Του Αιμίλιου Πολυγένη
Να μη μετάσχουν τελικά στην Αγία και Μεγάλη Σύνοδο αποφάσισαν και στο Πατριαρχείο Γεωργίας!
Σύμφωνα με εκπρόσωπο του Πατριαρχείου που το επιβεβαίωσε στο πρακτορείο Tass οι Γεωργιανοί δε θα βρεθούν στην Κρήτη επιμένοντας στους παλαιότερους λόγους των ενστάσεων!
Μετά τις τρανταχτές απουσίες ειναι άγνωστο πως θα αντιδράσει το Οικουμενικό Πατριαρχείο.
''Όχι'' στην Πανορθόδοξη και από τους Σέρβους!
Γράφει ο Αιμίλιος Πολυγένης
Την αναβολή της Αγίας και Μεγάλης Συνόδου προτείνει και η Ορθόδοξη Εκκλησία της Σερβίας!
Σε επιστολή που απέστειλε στον Οικουμενικό Πατριάρχη η Σερβική Εκκλησία προτείνει την αναβολή της Συνόδου "μέχρι να επιλυθούν οι διαφορές που υπάρχουν ανάμεσα στις Ορθόδοξες Εκκλησίες".
"Η Εκκλησία μας βλέπει εμπόδια να συμμετάσχει υπό τις παρούσες συνθήκες στην Αγία και Μεγάλη Σύνοδο" ανέφερε ο εκπρόσωπος Τύπου της Σερβικής Εκκλησίας.
"Πριν από τη διεξαγωγή αυτού του ιστορικού γεγονότος, είναι απαραίτητο να επιλυθούν οι διαφορές μεταξύ των τοπικών Εκκλησιών, να επιτευχθεί συναίνεση και να γίνει αναθεώρηση των εγγράφων.
Μετά τη Βουλγαρία και την Αντιόχεια που ανακοίνωσαν ότι θα απουσιάζουν, την Ρωσία που
θεωρεί πως πρέπει να αναβληθεί εφόσον δεν θα μετέχουν άπαντες, τώρα και η Σερβία θεωρείται αμφίβολη να μετέχει στην Αγία και Μεγάλη Σύνοδο.
Παρά τις απουσίες το Οικουμενικό Πατριαρχείο ανακοίνωσε πως η Πανορθόδοξη Σύνοδος θα πραγματοποιηθεί κανονικά.

To His Holiness
Archbishop of Constantinople, New Rome, and Ecumenical Patriarch
Sir Sir Bartholomew
Constantinople
Subject: Holy and Great Synod
Christ is risen!
Most Holy Archbishop of Constantinople, New Rome, and Ecumenical Patriarch, beloved brother in Christ and co-celebrant of Our humbleness, Sir Bartholomew, most wholeheartedly we greet Your respected Holiness with brotherly embrace in the Lord.
We deem it unnecessary to stress the measure of hope, sincere commitment and contribution, according to our capacity, with which our Church participated in the preparation of the Holy and Great Synod of the Orthodox Catholic Church.
However, having taken into consideration:
1. the dissatisfaction and critical remarks of certain local Churches in regard to particular texts, prepared in the pre-Synodal period;
2. the irrevocable decision of the Patriarchates of Antiochia and Bulgaria to refrain from participating in the Synod;
3. the problems in relations and communion between Churches (Jerusalem — Аntioch because of Catar; deteriorating relations between us and the Patriarchate of Romania, which are now hard to overcome, due to the anti-canonical incursion of the latter into Eastern Serbia and the founding of a parallel diocese there, which will lead to severing of liturgical and canonical communion of the two neighbouring Churches if the behavior described above is not terminated, and so on), conjointly with the perspective of allowing these problems to not be solved at the Synod but, rather, to be deferred to the post-Synodal period, as if any commission can be an organ higher than the pan-Orthodox Synod, and
4. the lack of will from our Mother Church of Constantinople to have at least one of the proposals of our Church (such as the discussion on autocephaly, right of bishops to vote at the Synod, on regarding the synods from the ninth and fourteenth centuries as ecumenical already, in the consciousness and practice of the Orthodox Church, and some other ones, perhaps less significant) included into the thematic and agenda of the Synod, and, as long as we remain obligated by the standpoints of the Holy Assembly of Bishops of our Church, officially formulated two years ago, as well as recently, at the end of the past month of May,
we are compelled, with sadness — but also with full feeling of our pastoral and, generally, ecclesial responsibility — to inform Your dear and respected Holiness and Your Holy and Sacred Synod that, since all this is so, our Church feels it difficult to participate in the summoned Holy and Great Synod, and proposes that it be postponed for a certain time: while our pending gathering at Crete, with the help of God, would be regarded as a pre-Synodal inter-Orthodox consultation with the aim of additionally preparing the Synod and improving its texts, or, at the most, as the inaugural phase of the whole synodal process, which is to be completed in subsequent continuation, in the next phase, when all disagreements are removed in favor of unity of mind and consensus of Churches. In this way, with the aid of God, the fruit of the Synod will be seen as witness given to our uncorrupted faith, answer to hope which abides in us as the message of salvation in Christ, directed to all, both to those who are close to us and to those who are remote, and in no case, God forbid, as germination of new pestilent schismas and para-synagogues under the excuse of falsely proclaimed zealousness and alleged preservation of Orthodoxy.
In regard to the said we remain Your Holiness’ humble brother and co-celebrant in the risen Christ
