ORTHODOX CHURCH OF GREECE — HOLY SYNOD IN RESISTANCE  

Distinguishing characteristics of the Holy Synod in Resistance

The Holy Synod in Resistance, which has its Headquarters in Greece, with the help of God, shepherds those pious Orthodox Christians who are, first and foremost, opposed to ecumenism, that is, who have been out of Mysteriological (Sacramental) communion since 1924 with the so-called “official” Churches that participate in the ecumenical movement, since they (the Old Calendarist Faithful) regard ecumenism as an ecclesiological heresy and the New Calendar as a reprehensible innovation.

The task of the Holy Synod in Resistance is fundamentally unitive, since its aim is to inform the Faithful about the heretical character of the ecumenical movement, so as to awaken the synodal conscience of the Orthodox Church to convene a unifying general Synod, in the truth of the Faith, with a view to condemning the heresy of ecumenism and restoring the unity of the Orthodox in the Festal Calendar.
