Administration

Since the Holy Synod in Resistance believes, on the basis of its ecclesiological principles, that the Old Calendar Orthodox Church does not constitute an administrative replacement for the innovationist New Calendar Church, a jurisdiction parallel to the New Calendar Church, or a second Orthodox Church within Greece, it endeavors to set forth its administrative structure in a spirit of moderation, in the context of its vision of Church unity.
