The Primates of the Orthodox Church arrived in Crete on June 16, 2016,
to carry out their sacred mission, the convocation of the Holy and
Great Council. They expressed their gratitude to the Greek people for
hosting this historic meeting.
The Holy and Great Council will be held at the Orthodox Academy of
Crete. The Orthodox Primates decided five months ago in Geneva, during
their Synaxis, to realize a vision of many years and proclaim the unity
of the Orthodox Church.
As His Beatitude Patriarch Daniel of Romania arrived in Crete, he
said: “We hope that our work will be a blessed one for the unity of the
church and for the friendship of the nations represented here.”
